Well Newton24b perhaps your right.
I've experimented with one of my traditional rifles and its ability to shoot sabo bullets just to see if indeed they would work. I made my sabo bullet comb's up from components I have available which cost no where's near what a store bought one cost. But undoubtedly preformed just as well as a store bought.
In the past I've bought some of those old T/C Break-a-way sabo cups and cast a Lyman #2 formula 44 cal 240 grain bullet for it. That combo. They have proven to work as slick out of my Renegade 54 cal w/ its 1-48 twist probably as well as any other inline now available. {Well except for that Savage smokeless powder using rifle maybe.} Pretty good down range accuracy & performance I experience in my use of them.
What I believe to be a problem though. So many inline shooters choose not or don't have room to cast their own lead. So they pay the going price what a bullet manufactures wants for his pre-made up products. Expensive Yes. Limited range time Yes (more than likely because of the cost factor.) Being old school I prefer that old round ball challenge like so many others. Cheap or reasonable shooting costs Yes. More Range time Yes defiantly. Any how. That's how I perceive things to be.
