Hi all, I'm new to this site and muzzleloaders in general. I have some questions somebody here can hopefully answer because nobody else I've talked to seems to know.
Recently I purchased a .50 caliber inline muzzleloader for black powder season, I really enjoyed the whole experience of hunting with it and intend to do it for years to come.
I'm interested in using .44 or .45 sabots but I'd to know some things before spending the money.
Can I expect the same muzzle velocity using the same weight bullets? For example a 350 grain .50 vs a 350 grain .44 sabot.
How accurate are sabot rounds?
How heavy of a bullet will my gun (CVA wolf) stabilize? I've seen .44 bullets over 400 grains.
I'd really like to get the best long range performance possible and I figure a heavy .44 or .45 bullet would retain quite a bit more energy and penetration due to the higher sectional density/ballistic coefficient.
