Default RE: Sabots vs. Barrel Rate of Twist?

I also found that the 1-48 rifles will shoot sabots with projectiles, but get the bigger, longer, &heavier projectiles with a moderate powder charge. I never had much luck with anything too light. Although I was getting some pretty good results with 230 & 240 grain sabots out of my one1-48 flintlock Hawkins, but I never got them past the 50 yard line. 50 yards and in, I could easily hunt with them.
