Yeah I was going to use one of them..also it might be a dumb question but how do you use conical bullets?

Also where do you find the projectiles for the muzzleloader...

Ok thank you..I now understand the sabot and bullet situation ..has any one had a sabot they thought was the best?

It all depends on the bullet you want to shoot. Harvester doesn't make any 54x50 sabots but they do make a really good 54x45 sabot. It loads pretty easy though and it might not work well in your bore. MMP also makes a 54x45 sabot, it fits a bit tighter in my 54cal.

Personally, i didn't buy a 54cal to shoot 45cal bullets when i can easily shoot 50cal 300gr-385gr bullets just as well or better. They will always make a 1/2 inch hole at least once. :D

I would say a Speer .452-300 grain deep curl but they are really hard to find right now.

I am not much of a Hornady fan because they can separate copper from lead on ocasion.

Sierra also makes a good .4515-300 grain bullets.

Then if you want to go to a preimium bullet, Barnes offers a bunch and Knight offers a .452-250 grain Bloodline that could really be awesome. I use a .458-275 grain Bloodline but there is not a sabot made for 458 to 54.

One other option which would be a bone crusher... there is a 50x54 sabot available that would allow you to shoot 50 cal Deep Curls... man talk about a dead animal...

Is the Speer .452-300 grain suppose to be meant for a 454 Casull DCHP...because on their website that is the only one that is .45 and 300 grains
