There are plastic sabots available for smaller-than-caliber projectiles, but they're usually .454 projectile in a sabot for .50 cal.; i.e. one size "down."
I haven't heard of any for the amount of difference you're considering. .720 to .490 is kinda a lot!
That said, an enterprising fellow might be able to make something out of nested shotgun wads and or sabots... Though I would SERIOUSLY ponder the What Could Go Wrongs before trying it out. And a Lead Sled and length of string isn't a bad idea sometimes.
Accuracy? Hmm... mebbe not so much. But making smoke and loud noises is fun.
Let us know how your experiments turn out!

Gentlemen, please adhere to the established rules for this forum. Namely, rule #9, regarding discussing Sabots, et al.
The exception is using plastic wads and steel shot, as in Waterfowl hunting, etc.
