I would not sugest the old sabots they used to make for round balls I ruined a barrel with one of them.
I believe that you're referring to the old Butler Creek Poly Patch which isn't quite the same as a modern sabot.

As mentioned. A PRB the right size and a light load is fun to shoot, and knocks the crap out of small game. I used 50gr of BH.
