Accelerator sabots?
Is there "Accelerator sabots" For calibers other then .308 to .22?
Is there like a .338 cal sabot that hold a 6.5mm or 7mm or something like that?
If so where can i get some or even the .308 to .224 standard ones?
I seen a bag of 300 or so at my local gun shop about a month ago
but past them up. They were pretty cheap if i remember like $3.00 for the bag.

Have only seen them for 30 cal to 22. Fiddled with them a few years ago. Unless you just want to punch some paper for kicks, they're a waste of time. Marginal accuracy being somewhat unpredictable upon exit of the barrel. www.ammodepot.com carries them with data @ $6.48/100

E. Arthur Brown Co. Link has a deal for a "sabot seating die" and 100 sabots for $19.95...

Just me but I would think the problem with sabots on a standard rifle would be basically you are trying to stabilize a bullet with the wrong twist rate for that caliber.
