50 cal sabots

[serious hunter1218]

So my dad got a new muzzleloader last wednesday. So he tried my go too bullet wihch is a Barnes Spitfire t-ez which didnt get good groups at all. So im just wondering what bullet everyone had the most luck with.

Are you using magnum powder charge? (120gr loose or 150gr pellets). My dad shoots a knight disc and he was having issues with magnum loads grouping he couldn't get 3 shots on 12x18 paper so I had him try these sub bases behind the sabot and he put 3 touching with same exact load. I would try these ive had them improve accuracy and velocity on all bullets/sabots

I have a TC Bone Collector and I use the same Barnes in 290 gr over 70 grains by weight of BH 209. Muzzle velocity 1845 and is very accurate.

Dump that weakest link, the sabot.

Fury bullets just came out with another 50cal product.

Interesting. Ive never tried sub bases. Ive tried the Barnes TEZ and there was nothing ez about them. Ive killed several elk with the 300 grain expander MZ bullets. Thought they loaded about the same as the TEZs. Although decently accurate I havent been able to make them shoot exceptionally well. May try the sub bases.

I use them behind a parker match hunter and I'm busting jugs at 600 yards I killed an elk last year at 538 yds with a Parker match hunter 327 gr they will drastically improve accuracy

I've done fine with Harvester crush rib sabots sized for the bullets I'm using - typically .44 cal Hornady FTX's. Plenty accurate for my needs.

Try as many loads as you can and keep track of what and where each one shoots, it takes some patience and time but you can find something that works. I'll put it out there since I have now experienced but each barrel is different in tolerances. My TC was a bear to load but the CVA Accura I am sighting in is a much easier to load ML. They both shoot but like different loads. Take your time if you can and enjoy the process....
