I was looking at the product today online.
Are these as good as, or better than sabots? Are they just craptastic like powerbelts?

When All Else Fails.
Just watched a Federal video.
Not as craptastic as CVA Powerbelts.
I think I'll stick with my Harvester sabots and .40 caliber/180 grain Hornady XTP bullets.

Not the end all be all, but naml has a review of the. And they are pretty terrible. Almost zero expansion and they tend to tumble in flight leading to poor accuracy. That is the only review I have found which is not a direct federal PR video. I don't trust naml too much as they seem very corporate sell out, but, again, about the only vaguely independent thing I have seen on them.
I personally go with hunter ribbed sabots and .44 240gr XTPs (might try 300gr sometime). They seem to be pretty accurate. I haven't hunted with them yet, but all reports are they stand up well in .44 to the kind of muzzle velocities you get with even heavy loads. My coat is less than 70 cents a shot between primer, bullet, powder and sabot. Just picked up 200rnds of them, CCI primers and 777 FFFg at Cabela's up in deleware erier in the week (everything but the powder was on sale).
The .44 240gr has pretty decent ballistic coefficient and the 300gr is nearly as good as the best .45 tipped muzzleloader bullets. I'd imagine that even the 240gr .44 xtp are as good as the full bore .50cal tipped bullets (maybe better?)
