Based on my small amount of experience, i believe that 0.507"-0.509" DIA bullet + sabot combinations best fit my barrel. The fitment of the sabot + bullet + barrel also seems to be a critical component of powder combustion and down-range accuracy.
The MMP Orange 458 sabot with a 325gr .458 FTX bullet measures 0.5045 on my calipers. If I wrap the bullet in 1 layer of 0.002 paper, I get a 0.5085 combination.
Has anyone tried this technique for up-sizing loose sabots?
