.45 cal 230 grain Winchester hollow points

Tried them in Pretty today, that's my Renegade flintlock with the gorgeous stock.
70 grains of Swiss 3f and a Harvester crush rib sabot.
Loading with .452 and .451 diameter bullets is miserably hard.
But these Winchesters are .450, and they load tight, but nowhere near like the XTPs. Happy! Happy!! Happy!!!
Accuracy was better too. Three, three shot groups were: 13/16ths, 9/16ths and 9/16ths. This at 50 yards. This with the factory blade front sight and T/C aperture rear.
For me, these are fantastic flintlock groups! Especially so because I have shot her since last October.
No klatches, and she lit percussion quick. No clack. All BOOM.

Hi Ed
Schuylkill Gun Works on 61. I don't know if they have more. The things are flying ashtrays.
The one that looks like the core is a donut was one I fired into wet dirt at short range. Wanted to see if it would fail before tossing one at a deer.
Nope.
I did shoot a fine doe with one. Impact sounded like a healthy whack on a bass drum! THUMP! She went 10 yards leaking like a sieve. Got a pass through too! 35 yard front quartering shot.
Shortly after this, I couldn't find them anymore. Last year I found a few...
