This works for me, a box of XTP 300gr. .45cal @ $23.00 .
90gr of 777, for loose powder, feeling lazy, 2-50gr. pyrodex pellets.
Use a musket cap for fire.
shooting a Remmington 700ml with a Simmions 2x7.
Granulated powder gives me better groups where as the pellets are a little loose about 2" high.
Haven't taken any whitetails with the XTP in .45cal., but have used Speer 300gr. .44cal. jsp and have taken two deer, about 80-100yds. shots, one spine shot/ double lung other, both were pass throughs.
The sabots are of diffrent color and thickness for the diffrent calibers, shooting a .50cal ml/ black sabot for .45cal projectiles, green for .44cal. projectiles, a box of each last me some years of shooting, hope this helps you out, and thanks for the time.
