.22 sabots in a .30 Herrett contender

Hey Guys

I just acquired a 14-inch .30 Herrett barrel for my contender and I'm thinking about trying .22 cal. sabots in it. I already have the sabots and I plan on trying 52g HPBT Noslers bullets and 75g Hornady. I read on another site that W296 & 2400 powders works well with the sabots in a 30 Herrett. Also, what kind of accuracy can I expect with them.

Does anyone have any experience in this area?

In the April 2003 issue of Varmint Hunter Magazine there is an article on this subject.

3009 fps 16" barrel .60" group at 80 yds.
