  I have had good luck  with the 125 gr. speer tnt in my 30-06 but don't push them over about 3200 fps or they may not reach the target. havn't got the 125 gr. nosler loaded the way i want yet &they seem to hold together a little better on impact.the hornady 110 gr. are accurate. hit one coyote a little low in chest at 250 yds with the tnt, riped him open big time another in jaw bone at 200 yds not much damage [broken jaw] but he was doa. any of these bullets work for varmits why use something marginaly accurate

the sabots act as a lubricant,the same way as teflon coating a 16" artillary shell, and will at least in the 454 I use them in clean the barrel in the same way as using steel shot loads in a shotgun. part of the accuracy problem stems when the leafs on the plastic "release" the bullet and fall away, which can vary from 2 ft up to 30 ft. and I'm sure is one of the reasons for not getting consistency in the flight-just like a shotgun

I'm wondering why they don't go to a quad or penta sleeve, it would seem that might help some atleast. Then again I'm sure they probably tried that.

 It would be interesting to see what a couple hundred grand of R&D dollars would produce with today's technology, if Big Green were to go back to the drawing boards with the whole concept.

I believe there could be a sound application for such a round. There certainly are advancements in manufacturing that could make improved accuracy possible. I do believe that it would be very difficult to mass produce and acheive accuracy though.

military has application in specialized areas, such as shaped charges, and multiple projectile delivery or flechets, muzzle loaders and shotgunners use the sabots all the time to deliver a smaller bullet at higher velocities.
