Default Reusing a sabot/bullet

I shot a deer and reloaded in the field. I want to clean my barrel can I push the load out, clean and then reload with new powder and the same sabot/bullet?

I would not re-use the sabot for hunting but I might save it to shoot at paper.

When you get it out you will see that it has been engraved by the lands as you pushed it down...

I do it with FPBs. Actually, I pre-size them in the bore of the gun, so all of my bullets have been in the bore prior to loading. I see no difference in accuracy.
