Hey all, never thought I'd do it but I have a muzzleloader now - a TC Impact.
Sabots were expensive - $16 for 10 Hornady 300 grain, something like 11 dollars for a box of 250 grn Shockwaves, and 7 for Thompson hollow points.

What ways do you feed your ML more cheaply while still making use of the accuracy?

Which sabot - bullet combination have you had luck with (especially anyone owning an Impact or Omega...similar model) and where do you get them separately?

I'm used to reloading for handgun so I got sticker shock after seeing the sabot ammo. It's like a certain brand of computer printer where the ink costs more thank the machine!

As always, specific examples are greatly appreciated.
