55 grain 30.06 bullets?

Dunno firsthand about the accelerator round but CCI's half-jacket 100gr bullet turns a crow into a small layer of feathers. Can you buy the sabots or just loaded ammo?
 
Several years ago I bought 20 boxes of .308 and .30-06 accelerator rounds when a local store closed. Cost was about $5 for 20 rounds. Compared to my .22-250 and my .22 Cheeta Mk II the stuff is very inaccurate.
 
I never shot any rifle with sabots on them. I know my cousin had some for his 06 they were fast, and not to bad for being accurate. He did have a real hard time cleaning the plastic fouling out of the bore. I here it is really hard to get out. For my 30-06 I tryed some 110 V-Max Hornadys just to mess around with. They worked so good I got some more. I am using a Ruger No 1 A light sporter so it is no target rifle by no means. I am using a Laupa case, CCI large rifle primer, and Varget for the powder. At 100 yards I am 1" or under with five shot groups. Also I believe its around 3712 f.p.s. with a five shot average on that. No signs of preasure, and I am under max. I figure why push it anymore. I dont shoot alot of them but now and then there fun to go out with and mess around. I know it will turn a porky pine into a red mist.
 
I shot about a 150 lb. pig with a factory Rem. accelerator about 10 yrs. ago and it was impressive. 75yd. shot, little hole going in and it looked like it had been hit by a 40mm grenade on the exit side.
 
22 / 30 cal sabots

HI , FOLKS


I HAVE BEEN TIKER'IN WITH SABOTS FOR A BIT AND IT GIVES ME A CHANCE TO USE MY RIFLES FOR MORE THAT IT'S MAIN ROLE... GIVES ME A BIT MORE VERSITILITY.. LOAD 7.62 X 39 / SHOOTS LIKE A 22 PPC ... 308 WIN SHOOTS GOOD ... 30.06 IS MY NEXT PROJ.. YOU CAND GET THEM FROM E.A BROWN AND CO... IN PKS OF 100 / 500 PIECES ...

CZ MAN, on the left side of your keyboard is a key labelled "Caps Lock". Play with it. One way, you get all caps. The other, you get normal lower case letters.

When you need to capitalize a letter, hold down either of the shift keys when you tap the letter you want.

"TO OLD TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL'IN"

No. Wrong. I'll be 76, come July. I'm still learning.
 
+1 on the 110gr V-Max. I've tried Accelerators and they aren't worth the trouble to clean out the plastic fouling. Accuracy unimpressive.

However, you can work up loads for a .243 with 58gr bullets...some data shows this is capable of exceeding 4000 fps. I have access to a .243 (my wife's) and I plan to try this soon.

Curiosity, I suppose. (I get ground chuck at the store... :) )
 
Just myself like I said previous give the 110- V Max a try, no plastic to clean out and you may be surprized at the results. I am sure if I would have pushed them more I could have got the 4000 f.p.s. But how fast do you need to go anyways? Besides paper I only shot that one porky, and like I said it was just a red mist. Did not even see a piece of it. Plus its a little heavier, and I belielve more accurate. I know that plactic is a pain to get back out. Hope to try it out on some yote etc. this year. I dont believe it would be a good pelt saver. Just my thoughts.
 
I have 4 boxes of 30-06 Accellerator's in my ammo can. Before I got them a friend of mine built-up 60 rounds of them for me. I shot a prarie dog with it and it took one heck of a flop when it was hit. Not much left from the shoulders up either.
I've thought about Coyote, but there isn't much open or conservation land to shoot on around here.

The biggest issue, and some of you have mentioned is the accuracy.
They have a tendency to wobble around quite a bit after 50 Yds. I've shot targets at just about every distance from 50 out to 200 yds. They keyhole like nobody's business. That's probaly one of the biggest reasons for the poof shots. The bullet hits the animal broadside wobbling at 4000 fps, slamming thru the target
