30/06 Accelerator bullets

Are these still made? I believe these were 55 gr. soft points? Is this correct? Are they very accurate? Do they hurt your gun in any way? Thanks for the help.

Yeah, I've shot a couple of boxes of them in 30.06 about ten years ago. They are okay out to around 150 yards but not as accurate as a standard 150 grain bullet at that yardage. Try these folks:

If your wanting some in 30.06 I suggest you go with some 125 grain Winchesters or Remingtons instead, they will reach out there pretty good and will give you better accuracy imo.

I wasn't sure how they would do. Thanks for the info.

I bought some in 308 Winchester several years back and still have a box or two packed away. I was disappointed with the accuracy of the rounds. Accuracy with them was 2-3 MOA in a rifle that shot 1 MOA with regular ammunition. They might be okay for big varmints close up but that's about it. It's a nice idea if it only worked better.

You can buy the components to make your own. http://www.eabco.com/reload02.html

I just load up some Sierra 110 gr varminters in my '06, much more accurate.
