[QUOTE="britz, post: 636902, member: 7865"] IMHO your asking for something that is not impossible but unlikely. FYI the sabot for a .308-.224 would be only .042" on each side (not huge). The sabo for a .284 to a ..264 would only be .01"... what material would hold up to this in the 60K pressures that would be developed? I wouldn't go so far as to say that shooting sabots accurately is impossible (look at the M1A1 Abrams). However, I would say that few of us on this site would be willing to spend the hundreds or thousands per round inorder to produce ammunition that would be that accurate using sabots. I agree with the above statements that the gain in velocity/BC would be far outweighed by the loss in accuracy. [/QUOTE]
