[QUOTE="GeorgeS, post: 1770372, member: 107925"] While it's tempting to think of saboted bullets as a way to get high velocities - despite awful accuracy because of sabot stripping on the lands - there's another use: for small game in the same gun as used for deer. They don't [I]have [/I]to be loaded to warp speed. Seems to me that a .30 cal rifle with a 50-55 grain bullet in a sabot, loaded to about 2,500 - 3,000 f/s would be useful and would grip the lands better, possibly improving accuracy if the problem is a lack of stability from spin stabilization at higher velocities. It would certainly be enough to take small game for the pot without blowing it apart. [/QUOTE]
