I've been using the .430 240 grain xtp in a green crush rib sabot with great results, about 12-15 deer. All pass throughs. They shoot great out of my Omega. Last year I intentionally let a doe walk away in a field to about 100 yds. Furthest I have shot a deer here in the northeast. Broadside, complete pass through, bullet hit exactly where the cross heirs came to rest. This year shot a doe slightly quartering to me, about 100 yds. Bullet hit just behind the front shoulder, traveled the length of the deer and exited the hindquarter. What I do like a lot is I push that bullet with 90 gr of B209. Recoil is very manageable especially in a tree stand when your body may not be in an ideal shooting position.
