Just announced, the people at BP have done it, a plastic sabot that we can load ourselves! Sporting a 50 cal. bullet.
http://www.ballisticproducts.com/prodinfo.asp?number=322BLS
A pack of 50 sabots alone is $9.99!
A 20 pack with 300 Hornady XTP bullets is $18.99.
A 20 pack with a 350 XTP is also $18.99.
Now, if only I had a rifled barrel for my 870, AND if I were hunting in a slug only area, I'd have some fun working up a load.
The folks at dixie slugs,(Dixie Slugs (dixieslugs.com)-Home of the Dixie Terminator), have experimented with hard cast lead boolits with these sabots. They are getting some interesting results. Read a thread over at cast boolits here;http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=37607

The long-awaited arrival is over. Our BLS-12 Ballistic Sabot is now in stock! It took over a year of prototyping and required the development of our own proprietary resin blend, but we got it right. We are finally ready to unveil our own 12 gauge sabot design. Our ballistic lab is launching Hornady .50 cal XTP pistol bullets (300 gr., 350 gr., & 500 gr.) at ultra-high velocities up to 2800 feet per second. We will also be offering a custom designed, fully non-toxic .50 cal bullet (300 gr.). * Maximum Accuracy - Built to maximize the performance of rifled slug barrels. * Non-Toxic Capability - Designed to accept a special 292 grain non-toxic bullet. * Versatile - Load a range of bullets from 300,350 to 500 grains to suit your game. * Tough - Originally designed and tested for tactical and national defense loads. Our special resin blend means that the BLS-12 can handle the toughest conditions and the hardest loads. * Cushioned Design - Our revolutionary Sabot Cushioning System (SCS) reduces spike pressures and allows for higher velocities. *A free load data sheet comes with every purchase.
