I believe you can shoot that bullet with those sabots very effectively from a 1-30 twist. I am not sure what the powder load might be but would guess 100 grains of BH would work very well.
Here a couple of threads, where I have shot that bullet from a 1-20 twist 45. But when you read these keep in my mind I was trying to make things fail. The second thread does not have any information about that particular bullet, but offers some other thoughts.
