Hornady 50 Cal Speed Sabot 250 gr SST

Description

These Hornady saboted projectiles are designed for .50 caliber muzzleloading rifles and combine a Speed Sabot with a .45 caliber 250 grain SST bullet. The sabot fully engages rifling to center and seal the projectile, supporting consistent launch behavior and improved external ballistics from black powder systems. The SST polymer tip and Flex Tip technology are specified to enhance ballistic coefficient and promote reliable expansion while maintaining weight retention. Intended for long-range muzzleloading use and medium-game applications, these rounds are formulated to deliver repeatable performance in field conditions.
