So I'm not looking to start a Ford vs Chevy debate here, really asking more about practical use.
I am just getting back into muzzleloading and in my past I always used powerbelts for their simplicity but now that I am doing more research it seems that a lot of people have great success with sabots so I'm considering both options. I mentioned this to a buddy of mine and he swears up and down that sabots are too much of a hassle and that after 1 or 2 shots you won't be able to load another one without cleaning. I'm aware that there are different sized and designed sabots out there and it seems like there should be a bullet/sabot combination that loads just as well as a powerbelt.
So what does the forum say?
