Bullets etc
Which Hornady bullet? If you meant the 452 bullet in the 45-70. In a word ..No. If you mean the #4500 300 gr HP by Hornady. it is made for the 45-70. I have a box or so right over the computer desk. They however will not work in a muzzleloader without fitting them to the correct sabot. I use the 250 gr 452 bullet in my Savage muzzleloader with the correct sabots. It is good to 250 yds in the right hands. Not necessarily mine. Those powerbelts are what size? I also use the 250 gr 452 bullet in the 45 Colt. They would rattle down a 45-70 bore.which measures approx. .458

I really am more curious than ever now to try out a .458 Hornady HP 4500 w/ a .50cal Orange HPH sabot. Next real question would be....powder?....wanna go the Blackhorn 209 route...not sure though with this latest proposed set-up.

If the idea is to cut costs, why not cast your own ML projectiles, and dump the sabots altogether?
Lee makes a number of ML molds. Like a 360 grain Minie ball in 50 caliber. They also make a REAL bullet mold, as well as roundball molds. Lee molds can be had for less than 30$.

That would be too simple....and wouldn't convince my mrs that by casting mini balls for my ML that I would save money when buying that Marlin 1895 SBL.
 jk Another plus for shooting a smaller dia bullet w/ a sabot in my ML would be the increased range. I'll prolly do the casting ML rounds first in any event.
