I was flipping through the Cabelas shooting book today and realized that there are sabots for muzzleloaders using .429 (or .430) diameter bullets. Knowing that the sabots exist, I know there are probably more than a few muzzleloader bullets that exist in .44 cal. My book didn't list most of the bullet diameters, just the sabot diameters.
Now, here is the interesting part for me. Quite a few have complained that Hornady hasn't released the Leverevolution bullets for reloaders, including me. But I think I may have just found the answer, at least for 444 Marlin.
Can you guys possibly point out any "ballistic tip" muzzleloader bullets in .44 cal? I would really appreciate any because if they are .429 they will work, and will be the end of my troubles. I do need them to be copper jacketed as they are engaging the rifling.
Again, my whole concern here is for an aerodynamic 44 cal bullet, defeating the other blunt flat-nose bullets with poor coefficients.
Thanks.
