Which round in a 1:48
Just wondering if anybody swears by a certain conical/ sabot in their guns with a 50 cal 1:48 twist. I am currently using the Hornady 240 grain xtp and really like them. Again wondering if anyone has any luck with anything else. I am using 90 grains of 2f Goex in the load and 4f goex in the pan.
Stay Safe,

Any good fitting bullet between the length of a PRB and .75 of an inch should work.
Ballet and real bullet are good so is a PRB but I personally prefer a 230gr Gold Dot for longer ranges.

These 240 grain TC lead HP bullets & Break-O-Way sabots with 90 grains of Pyrodex P really shoot great out of my 1 in 48" Traditions Deer hunter. And they even have the same POI at 50 yards as patched round balls so no sight adjustment is necessary.

A lot of my practice is at 100yds on paper usually about 1.5 to 2 inches which I thought was pretty good out of a intermediate twist. I have shot a deer just a bit farther than that with it 120yd by range finder.
