With a sabot, the bullet doesn't engage the rifling; the plastic sabot does. So this bullet might be considered to be more like a sabot than a conical bullet and banned on that basis.

You could say the same about a lot of things, like scopes and smokeless powder. They make accurate shot placement easier, which also extends the effective range and that's what they're trying to limit. They've chosen to draw a line, and it has to be somewhere.
