If you are having trouble with your bullet/sabot going down the bore too easily then try this trick. Not all muzzleloaders are created equal. Some bores are larger than .50 and some are smaller. If your bore is over sized and you've tried all the bullet/sabot combinations without results then try the aluminum foil trick. You can use household foil. Lay it out on a cutting board and cut strips of foil the height of your bullet to the ogive. Wrap the bullet and trim to fit. Slide the bullet wrapped in foil into the sabot and give it a try. Make some with one, two and three layers to obtain best results. The foil will not harm accuracy or your rifle. I hope this helps.
