Does anyone shoot 200 grain bullets in their savage muzzleloader? Im just curious of the results good or bad so that I will know if I want to try some in my gun.
I just picked up a Savage ML-II. It only makes small groups with the 300 grain xtp and sst's so far. I have not tried much outside of hornady bullets. Did well enough with the 250 grain for hunting purposes out to 100 yards with sub 4 moa, but the 300 grain .452 xtp with short black sabots shined with sub 2 moa at 100. Other shooters may could do better, factor in my human error of course . I used 42 grains of AA 5744 on a .452 300 grain xtp with black sabot.
44 cal (.429") will not shoot worth a hoot in the Savage. Save yourself some time, components, and frustration and avoid the 44 call bullets and sabots.
