I'll throw out this basic question regarding In-line muzzleloading.

In terms of accuracy alone, what is your preferred weight of Saboted Bullet that you have used in your 1:28 twist barrel?

Not interested in urban legends or marketing hype, I want your experience at the range making those nice tight groups with different weight bullets- from the boattailed ballistic tip crowd to those of you who launch cast .45 auto inside a sabot!

What bullet weight works best, for you??

Old fashioned Hornady .452 dia 300 gr XTP bullet, Harvester EZ load sabot, & 90 grains of FFG T7 - all of which have been bought BULK.
 
250-grain SST....... Shoots well from 100-150 grain loads for me in a half dozen muzzleloaders but to say which is best for any gun is impossible without testing it!
 
Im using a hornby 45-250 sst with 80g pyrodex P, and shooting it out of my Lyman Great Plains hunter (1:32 twist) and consistantly am within 2in at 100yrds
 
Looks like a close lead to the 250..

I've a big bucket of wheelweights and about to buy a new mould, looks like I'll get the Lee#90358 .452" 255 grainer and give her a crack!

Tnx for the replies. :)
