loading sabots in the 45-70

Has anyone tried  loading a 45 caliber muzzle loading sabot in a  45-70 round?

I just looked at the 45 cal ones from T/C 45 cal 155 gr bullets and they measure right around 458

Thought about it.  No  reason it wouldn't work unless the twist is just not slow enough for such a light bullet.  That's all paper patching is about anyway.
