Are you hunting elephant? Why would you need to shoot anything over 300 grains? The general consensus is that conical bullets (sabotless) aren't as accurate as bullets used with sabots.
I am getting 3 inch groups (open sights) at 100 yards with Hornady FPB's and 90 gr of BH 209.I don't think you could find many sabots that would shoot better with open sights.

Some of us just like shooting big conicals, and as stated, 350 is really not that big.

And some of us CAN'T legallyshootsabots(Colorado is conical only)

The only real reason to shoot sabots (if legal) are to shoot better constructed bullets flatter at longer distances. However, my FPB's fly pretty flatand are the start of better constructed bullets. More to follow I am sure.
