I'm sure they probably don't work to well in semi-auto's. :S
They sound interesting running in the 3400-3800 fps range. Now I'm thinking that they could do some real damage on prairie dogs and coyotes.


Found this today;

I would have to know a whole lot more about their test data before I would mess with those. What will the plastic sabot do under higher temperatures in your barrel? What types of residue will be left? Lots of questions.

Remember the old 30 06 Rem Accelerator? It was a sabot rd.

The big drawback to them seems to their lack of accuracy...as my buddy told me: 'its barn door accurate'.

Yep, been saving a box as a collectible. They did them in .308 and a couple others I think. Shot some as a kid but could never get a good zero on the scope!
