Has anyone ever fired or even heard of a special type of ammo made by a company called RBCD performance ?. Its a 37 grain thats right  it's a 37 grain sabot round that moves like lightning 3700 ft per second. It looks like a dart kind of. Is this for real ? Couldn't find much about it but it is available online. It looks like the sabot round a m1a1 tank fires ironically, any feed back would be appreciated. Is this even safe for your rifle ?

I'm not even going to waste my time clicking the link or even googling it. It's junk. Don't waste your money. Anyone remember Remington sabot flop. The Accelerator.

Ammunition manufacturers do, at least reputable ones do. The ones that do not test, know they're selling junk. If this was some revolutionary ammo that defied physics, these guys would be knocking on the door of every police agency and secret squirrel organization in the world. Again the stuff is junk. I'd be surprised if you got 6moa out of it.
To answer your last question, no. I'd rather buy a case of Molson XXX. The headache would be about the same but at least I'd have some money left over and not as disappointed.

If you reload sabot rounds cheep.

I have a few 30/22 Cal sabot left. And they work well out of my 308 rifle.

If you get some 5.7 a.p. rounds ( a member was selling some in the e.e.)

And  quick Google came up either  these http://www.eabco.net/Accelerator-Type-Sabots-for-30-Caliber-Cartridges-100_p_13645.html

You can make 7.62x39 a.p. rounds for little $$$

I only  shot out to 100 but shot close to my normal load.

It work well enough to take a rabbit at 80 yards and not destroy it.

I haven't tried the 5.7 AP bullets.

I wanted to buy a small lot from the person that selling them n the EE but he didn't want to sell in very little batch. And for my budget his price is out of my reach for the lots he has listed.
