240gr cast swc

[wyohandi]

So this is probably a dumb question but is there anything wrong with a plain ole' 240gr like an oregon trail in a sabot?
Seems to be a real cheap alterantive for someone who doesn't cast their own. They kill everything outta the 44mag at 1200FPS
so they should do the same at 1700ishFPS right? Or am I missing something, haven't even got the gun yet but I'm already
worrying about what to shoot outta it.
I just can't see buying a $1 a piece bullet when I have a 5gal bucket of 240gr SWC sitting here that have done all I have ever asked for.
Way off the mark? Or am I not reading enough shooting and blasting magazines?

 I shot & killed a deer a few years ago with just such a bullet, 240 grn home cast semi wadcutter held in a Hornady green(44 cal) sabot. I put it right in the boiler room at about 20 yrds & the deer went less than 20 yrds. I have also used a cast conical in the same manner. Another way I use them is getting a scope close, or just general shooting. I now mostly use SSTs for hunting but still have a use for the cheaper stuff.

I tried shooting 300 grain wadcutters out of my Knight rifle and they shot great.

I shoot a 250 grain round nose 240 bullet I cst myself in a harvestor crush rib sabot.  They sohht very well and work on deer very well.

i shoot lead flat nose bullets from 250 to 300 grains and they shoot very well.if you cast your own make sure they are not soft lead use ww

TC makes (or made) a round called "Cheap Shot" it was nothing more than a lead cast hp bullet in a sabot they claim (and I agree) they shot the same as the jacked HP XTP's but, you got twice as many for the same price. They kill deer just as good, never had a deer I killed say other wise.

Thank you and the same to you. I was just curious if I had missed something was all.

Just ordered a box of 20 to try. If they shoot as good as the shockwaves I am shooting now, I will buy a case and call it done. I hope they shoot.
