Probably the 250grn Bloodline.
Maybe the 52 cal Knight makes? Would that be a 50cal bullet? |

This is a sabot? From my thread you should know you can't use less then a 50cal bullet. It's the problem I ran into when thinking about using a 50 cal sabot. No way to do it.

From the Colorado Game Laws
3. MUZZLELOA DING RIFLES & SMOO THBO RE MUSKE TS a. Only legal muzzleloaders allowed in muzzleloading seasons. b. In-line muzzleloaders are legal. c. Must be single-barrel that fires a single round-ball or conical projectile. d. To hunt deer, pronghorn or bear, they must be minimum of .40 caliber. e. To hunt elk or moose, they must be minimum of .50 caliber. f. From .40 caliber to .50 caliber, bullets must weigh minimum 170 grains. g. If greater than .50 caliber, bullets must weigh minimum 210 grains. h. Shotshell primers are legal. i. Pelletized powder systems prohibited in muzzleloading seasons. j. Cannot be loaded from the breech in muzzleloading seasons. k. Only open or iron sights allowed in muzzleloading seasons. Fiber optics and fluorescent paint incorporated into or on open or iron sights are legal. Scopes or any sighting device using artificial light, batteries and electronic gear are prohibited during muzzleloading seasons. l. Sabots are prohibited in muzzleloading seasons.

It says sabots are prohibited during muzzleloader season so I would think you would be fine during rifle season for sure. |

Your telling me I can't use a sabot in rifle season?
You can use a scope, pellets and sabots. Even smokeless powder in rifle season, but your bullet can's be smaller than 50cal. I know it's stupid, but that's the law. |
The rules clearly say you can use a 50cal Muzzleloader and a 250grn Saboted bullet in rifle season. Thanks Flounder33

I'm not sure of what combination there is that allows you to shoot a .50 cal bullet with a sabot?

I wonder how them 50 cal Lehigh DOA bullets would shoot in a .54. I might have to try them sometime and see and if they would work in a sabot. |
If i didn't already have a NULA i would really consider the Knight Ultra Light. Mine is actually a 26" barrel and has a slightly heavier contour than the standard Melvin spec build. You cant really compare the two since Melvin will build them to your specs including LOP and the other options like a Jewell trigger.
Im still in the market for a faster twist 45 that weighs close to my NULA. My Savage Pacnor 45 is a heavy beast but it convinced me a 1-22 twist works great. Its just a terrible platform for a Ultra Light build. BTW i love that scope base. I think ive seen it somewhere before. :D |
