OR:

The .22 Accelerator is a special loading of the .30-30, .308, and .30-06 cartridges that is manufactured by Remington.


Description

It consists of a sub-caliber diameter bullet, held in a .30-caliber six-fingered plastic sabot with a hollowed base. The bullet separates from the sabot approximately from the muzzle.


Usage

The cartridge allows for using a large-caliber rifle for varmint shooting, although the accuracy is somewhat diminished. The advantage, however, is the extremely high muzzle velocity from factory-loaded ammunition.
