I don't see any reason it wouldn't work, but there is one point of interest. The factory ammo made that way (Remington Accelerator) had to have the sabots sealed in the case neck under heat to provide enough resistance for the powder to burn properly, and heating the necks of loaded rounds is not a DIY proposition. Heavy crimping might work OK in a .357 case, but a lot of experimentation will be needed unless there is some knowledge out there I don't know about.

Accuracy? I don't know. The Accelerators were not especially accurate and never shot to the same point of aim as the standard ammo; I suspect the same would be true of sabot loads in a revolver.
