I know its a fine line, but CDOW approved the Powerbelt on the premise that when it leaves the muzzle of the rifle, it is a full caliber conical that engraved the rifling. They could have just as easily deemed it a sabot; but chose not to. I really don't think the Wildlife Commission had any intention of promoting the sales of Powerbelts, but it is certainly a stroke of fortune for the folks at CVA.
