Might not open up at muzzleloader velocities. MMP makes an orange sabot for .458 bullets that should work. I used to use that sabot when I shot .458 Nosler Partitions and had good results.

I've used the MMP orange sabot with remington and sierra .458 bullets with BH209. I use the Nosler boat tails in 6mm, 7mm, .270 & .308 for deer and elk. They seem to get progressively tougher as they go up in caliber. I tried the.358-225 grain in a Whelen at 2600fps and while they were vvery accurate, they punched right throgh deer with minimal expansion. I don't think I'd try the larger ballistic tips at low velocity. Of course YMMV.

That bullet is really intended for a bit more speed than most muzzle loaders can achieve. It may work fine at close range but fail to expand after the velocity drops.

You would be better off with one of these.
