[Clairebear]

What's eveyones thoughts on this? Does one thousandth matter?

Those will work just fine

Thankyou, I've shot them for years but first time the .429 was printed on the new sabots.

is it possible that they changed the sabots?

Not sure, I have an older package as well, nearly word for word as the new pkg but it doesn't mention a diameter.

Muzzleloader barrels aren't consistent diameters. You'll just have to try them in yours. I shoot .452 bullets in .50 x.45 sabots without issue in mine. I also use Harvester crush rib sabots, which are a little more forgiving.

They have at least once. I will try to remember to check my packages for diameter statement. They are 50/.44 sabots and are black in color. Will report back with either .429 or .430 or whatever it says.

T/C and/or maybe Hornady had some 50x44 sabots made in black. Most 50x44 sabots are green. All of those are MMP sabots as far as i know. If you need one that loads easier try the Harvester EZ load sabot. If you need one thats even easier to load you will need the Green Crushrib sabot.

The 2 packages of black T/C sabots I have say .429 on the upper right hand corner of the package.

I have used .430 275 and 300 grain XTPs as well as .429 270 GoldDot with equal accuracy in those sabots from a Black Diamond XR and a Renegade.
