Chet i have seen it before and you have to really push that 200 gr bullet,in order to get it to shoot.. lehigh Dave on his web site states it's long for caliber and has to be pushed (2,300 fps or better)and that the 185 is a better choice.. which i think i have already stated in this thread lol.in order to reach that one needs what,130-140 gr of BH or 777.?

Do any of you have any White Powerstar sabot'd bullets for the .45 caliber? That's a 350 grain, very high BC, all-lead bullet that shoots incredibly well out of anything from 1:20 to 1:28 twist bores - so long as the barrels are good, the rifling is very consistent, and the crown does not detract from accuracy (most QLA barrels, for example).

And I think that last part is where most of the manufacturers have been lacking in their 1:20 twist attempts.

You guys who want a longer heavier bullet for the .45 might want to give something like the 210 grain .410 caliber bullets made for the 41 Mag. a try. They load a little tight, but OK in my .45 Green Mountain barrel with Harvester's crush rib 45/40 sabots (H14540BR). The difference may be small, but they are longer and heavier than the 200 grain .400's.

Did you ask Steve at WhiteRifles.com if he has any of those. I think he did, at one time, have a very large supply of them.

I would want to be doubly sure before sending him any money though.

I think those bullets were actually made by Buffalo Bullets.

Chet,I think the .45 cal 1:20 is a great twist personally. i just feel Knight would have a hell of a time trying to produce another 1:20 .45 and get people to buy it considering what happened last time.any .45 cal twist is going to need a lot of promotion and bullet selection to be a viable caliber on the M/L market,regardless of twist.i like the idea of a bit heavier bullet for the long range shooting for obvious reasons..

That site still says under construction but you can email him from there. I think he's too busy selling costume jewelry to pay much attention. :(

True considering the past reputation but look at the past reputation CVA overcame through marketing. Back when Jim shockey completed his ultimate slam and knight was a household word you wouldn't have thought TC would dominate the market in a few years but they did. So the reputation could be overcome I believe as a new generation fills the ranks of blackpowder shooters. It would take aggressive marketing for sure
