The Sabot will have Rifling Groves in it fro the Barrel Rifling, I would'nt reuse it as the next time you reload that Sabot the Rifling wont align up the exact same way it did the first time, thus possible causing Gasses to excape during firing. Being Plastic the Sabot probably would seat during firing and be OK, but why chance it. Yes the Bullett itself Im sure would be Fine as it was incased in the Sabot during Loading and Protected, but again it was used so why take the Chance. I want each and every load to be Fresh, when you never know when the Shot of a Lifetime show up you want to be sure every thing is Perfect. Would I reuse the Pellets and Sabot and Bullett for Practice, probably, but not for the shot of a lifetime, it's just not worth the (What If) and Murphy Always seems to show up when you Least Expect Him To.
