Howdy,
I've been enjoying my Ruger 77/50 for about 5 years now. Killed a pile of deer with it so far and always enjoy range time with it as well. Typically I will use green crush-rib sabots and a pistol bullet, but wanted to see if the Hornady FTX bullets might group a little better for me.
I picked up a box of .45 caliber FTX's at Cabelas the other day, and realized that those won't fit with my green crush-rib sabots. It had been so long since I bought the bulk-packaged Remington bullets I've been using, that I forgot they were .44 caliber and not .45.
So my question is whether I need to just return these for .44 caliber bullets, or is there a sabot that will work with these .45 caliber bullets. I need to buy more sabots anyway, so I could go either way.
Thanks
