I have been using this sabot for about ten years. I have yet to recover a bullet, but they do the work. A while back I tried to use the XTP Magnum bullet, but noticed what I believe was no expansion on deer! I am getting expansion with the standard XTP though. This guy had one lung and the lower portion of his heart destroyed.
At this time I have been using BH209 for two or three years now. Prior to this, I used Pyrodex RS substitute powder. I have not really noticed any difference in performance between the two.
