Will that Gold Dot work with a regular crush rib sabot?
That will depend on your gun and barrel whether or not that combination will shoot well. The bullet will definitely fit in the sabot though if that's what you are asking.

Have not thought to much about store bought as they are pricy /made by someone else and I have bothI know the general consensus is to use the Harvester crush rib sabot ( green or black depending on 44 or 45). So what bullets are you currently using? Right now I am finishing up on the Traditions Smackdown 250's I have, thinking of going to the Hornady FTX 250gr but also looking at the XTP 250's both 45 cal( 452 dia.)
Yep, lots of folks condemn the 250 grain SST bullet. Some claim it fails to expand and "pencils through" the animal. Others claim the same bullet fragments and fails to penetrate: Assuming that velocities are constant, it can't do both.
BS is everywhere!!! /EdHere is 2015 paper if interested, but main reason lead will eventually be phased out (on public land) is lead bullets left in gut piles kills eagles & condors.
I've always use 230gr Hornady XTP in .44/45 cal., with 100gr loose pyrodex, or 777. Never had to deal with blood trails because they dropped where they stood, or if they did run, went down in about 30yds.I know the general consensus is to use the Harvester crush rib sabot ( green or black depending on 44 or 45).

This is really a great bullet. Very good accuracy out of most of my guns. Performs well on game also.Barnes T-EZ 250 grain
