Everything you said about the soboted .30's is true. The problem is, you don't get an accurate round. Even the most accurate rifle will send the saboted rounds astray. I've read that 2MOA is unheard of. Correct me if I am wrong anybody that has first-hand evidence.[/quote]
The problem with sabots is the bullet runout. The literature says that you must have less than .001 bullet runout. When loaded on my standard Dillion dies , the runout out was averaging .0025 .
I went to Lee Benchrest dies (necksize) and bullet runout was less than .001. You must be careful as any upset in the process will disrupt the sabots. Also , some .30 Rifles may not be able to stabilize that little bullet that zips out so fast.
In my .300 Sendaro, my saboted groups run about an inch and a quarter, not great accuracy but good enough for most of the varmits I shoot at.
