.45 vs .50

[Derek mannens]

Just bought a .50 muzzleloader.
Trying to develop a good load. I’ve always shot the hornady sst 250gr sabboted bullet with 150gr white hot powder. They’ve worked no doubt but I am always looking for something better. Any suggestions on new load developments?
I was also looking into shooting a .45 bullet with a sabot out of the .50 cal muzzy. Has anyone tried this and if so how were the results?

Ok, now I’m confused. So you’ve been shooting a .45 in a sabot and now you want to know if anyone’s ever tried shooting a saboted .45 in a .50???
