In no way should you even try. First off, one is a saboted round while the other is a conical. Secondly there is a 55 grain difference in weight. 3rd the profile of the cheap shot is different. Never go hunt with a round that you have never fired from your rifle. There is absolutely no way to tell where it will hit even at 50 yards. You might not even be on paper. The pressures are different between conical and saboted bullets. Definitely take your rifle to the range and resight your rifle to the cheap shots. You will most likely be at least 2 inches higher if not a good bit more. And with the difference in rifling contact between sabot and conical you could be totally off the paper in windage.
