I would go with barns 290gr TEZ harvester smooth side black sabot and 110gr BH209 and w209 primer.

The best bullet is one that shoots good, then you put it in the correct spot.
I was just out fine-tuning my 45 cal. I normally shoot Barnes, the SST/Shockwave type, or a Hornady Pistol bullet. Although they work, I thought the Barnes supplied sabot was a little tight in my 45. I changed them out with the light blue Harvester crush rib sabot and the fit is great.
Just saying, besides the bullet, mix and match if needed to get a good bore fit. I was glad to see the Barnes 195 grn and Hornady 200 grain bullets shoot to the same point of impact. I may use each this season.

I use hornady 300gr .429 [44cal] xtp pistol bullets with green harvester crush rib sabots and 120 gr blackhorn 209. can repeatedly shoot 1" or less groups @ 100yds. I zero the load @ 130yds. It makes for a true long range deer whacker. Check out hornadys ballistic calculator for stats. TC green sabots worked equally well also.
