    I have some .30 X.22 sabots that you can load if you want to play with them?

    Someone donated a small pile of corroded 30-06 ammunition with those projectiles on them to JD just the other day.

    As soon as I saw them I thought . . . . . 6000FPS? maybe I can do that !! JD does have a .300 win mag, and plenty of once fired brass.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    I recall that Remington used to sell "Accelerator" ammo, which was a nearly-4000 fps .30-06 round with a .22 bullet in sabot, and I read somewhere that the reason it was discontinued was that it did not come near to the "varmint accuracy" that people expected of it. In essence, there was no advantage to a high velocity .22 bullet in a round that did not perform nearly as well as their match grade 168 grain round.

    The 224 will not have rifling marks, and those that are on the sabot are all deformed and indistinguishable.

    IE reintroduced Mexican Gray Wolfs in the western states

    Does take a special die to seat the round.
