Default Gold dot HP 45 auto 230 grain bullet

I can't believe I'm asking this but....what sabot would I use with the gold dot HP auto 45 bullet in the 230 grain variety? The bullet diameter is .451. I shoot the old knight wolverine .50 caliber ML with a #11 cap. I expect to shoot 80-90 grains of 777 powder. Ihave been shooting the precision rifle dead center bullet, 220 grains over 80 grains of 777 powder.

I'm very nervous about even trying this bullet but, unlike the XTP's, I haven't heard bad things about this bullet not expanding at close ranges etc. So, I'm thinking of giving it a shot.

Has anyone shot this bullet that can share some real life experiences with me? Most of my shots will be probably around 30 yards give or take a little. Thanks, Greg
