    I have used sabot in my 77/50 with 405gn .458 hard cast lead bullets and 60gn of BP. I didn't find any advantage, just a smaller hole in the target. I guess if you're after game and want to use a copper jacketed expanding bullet like they do in the USA, then it's the thing to do.
    Personally I like the bigger hole from the Minnie as I can see it better in the white of the target.😊

    Ah, you mean BREAK-barrel.

    @OP - Do you shoot live game with it?

    Do tell how you've explained to your FEO that you need expanding ammunition to shoot in a BP firearm.
