.458 w/ sabot in a Huntsman?

[kevinsmith5]

I happen to have a wide variety of .458 and .459 cast bullets for my BC and compared it to one of my 230 gr bullets for my Huntsman.  They appear to be the same diameter.  Can I use them with a sabot in a .50?

The .458/.459 may appear to be the same diameter as a .451/.452 bullet, but I assure you you may need a big hammer to get them down the bore in one of the black sabots. MMP makes a orange sabot for .457/.458 bullets that would serve you better for your bullets.

Scroll down to where it says this, on the second chart on this page. "HPH Sabot Series, Our High Performance Product Line".
