my question is, has anyone shot the 50 cal ammo that is 50cal with the sabot but the projectile is actually .454 without sabot, from a .44 revolver? if so how good was it? i ask because unfortunately black powder is my only option for self defense so i am looking for the best/most reliable loads i can manage with my 1851 navy snub nose in .44 which is my EDC. i did get the lee conical .454 cast so i can cast my own but for self defense i really want to find the best factory made conical i can until i become much better at casting because im betting my life on it in a worst case scenario.
