Anyone casting their own for the Huntsman?

What have you got.

There's a lot of old posts here and there, but wanted to see if there is any new conventional wisdom out there.

I just started using my Lee 230gnTL bullets in Harvester sabots for .451-.452 bullets. They shoot as well on paper as the TC bullets  I had been using. I haven't got to shoot any deer with them yet but I think they'll do the job just fine.

Been using Lee .44 240gr TL SWC for a few years now.  Tried all kinds of top rated bullets, bought leftovers from anyone at work that had any leftovers, found the cheap cast lead shot best in my Sidekick & Huntsman .50 cal with Hornady sabots (the green ones).  Using 777 (90 grs) and Win777 primers.

I cast a lee 240 grain round nose sized to 429.  I shoot these in a harvestor crush rib sabot with 87.5 grains (60 by weight) of blackhorn 209 Deadly accurate and deadly on deer.
