I have a pack of 50 cal. black crush rib sabots that take a 45 cal. bullet.Will any 45 cal. bullet work?

RE: bullet question
Ron, I suggest you start with the 45 cal handgun bullets that measure .451 - .452". If they are too loose, then you can go up the the 45 cal rifle bullets in the .458" range.
You want the sabot/bullet combo to be snug but not overly tight. A firm steady pressure required to seat it over the charge. (You don't want it to slip down the bore easily but you don't want to have to hammer it down either.)
