Default Lead Sabots for the Knight Long Range Hunter?

Hi all,
I’ve shot a CVA for years and then went to a Winchester X-150 and now upgraded even more to the Knight “LRH”.
In the previous two ML’s I was shooting the 348gr lead Powerbelt’s with consistent results in both guns.
The PB’s don’t shoot worth a crap in the LRH! [:'(]
I’ve also had zero success with Precision Rifle’s “Dead Center” polymer tipped lead crap-bullets in all three of the ML’s.

I’ve always used the Pyrodex pellets and like the way they handle, 100gr in the CVA and 150gr in the Winchester.
And so far 100gr in the LRH so my preference on powders won’t soon change…

The State of Washington demands that all ML’s shoot “Non-jacketed lead projectiles” and use #11 or Musket caps for ignition. [:@]
Other than Knights own brand of lead sabots I haven’t found many others.


Has anyone had successful experience with non-jacketed sabots and possibly recommend some good ones for hunting both Deer and Elk?

Thanks!
