Nice, only ever saw .30-06 accelerators. I heard about .30-30 ones but never saw them. What is the "nominal" speed these were rated at?

Made in 30/30, 0.308 Win and 30/06. Haven't been made for about 25 years or so.

EABCO sell the sabots for reloading. Uses .224 bullets.

Cool...no idea why he had these, he wasn't a hunter at all. He did have a nice old Winchester 30-30. Had a bunch of Silvertips, and some HP Cor-locts as well.

Cat men used them for shooting treed cougars as the range was point blank and pet damage minimal........Harold

I have a board of those, great for varmints. Guvermint don't like them as they leave no rifling marks on the bullet.

Saw a box of 308 accelerator for sale at the gun show last week. This stuff is not accurate at all, I shot 2 boxes of it 20 plus years ago, and you have to be lucky to hit the paper.

 

[yomomma]

I still have boxes of 30-30 and 30-06

 

[Andy]

I had some in 30-30 and 30-06 a few years ago. Very high MV's but shot about 6 MOA with me behind the wheel.

I dodged a bullet when shooting through my chrony. The sabot bounced off one of the arms - no damage, but added some excitement.

Further development might have reduced the disruption to the bullet when it separates from the sabot, but accuracy would still always be compromised. Most 30 cals are 10 twist or slower, so you had to stick to the 55 gr and lighter too.

All said, it was still fun to shoot.

 

[dead meat]

I shot some of the 30-06 accelerators years ago, not very accurate. If I remember correctly about 6-8" groups on a good day.

 

[Hitzy]

Did the 30/30 boxes have any warning about tube mag loading? These were just loose rounds in a bag...
I imagine they mentioned it.

 

[mbogo3]

Just make your lever a two shot,one in the pipe and one in the tube.

In the early 1980s when I was still a one-rifle hunter, I bought some 30-06 accelerator ammo for coyote hunting because it seemed like a good idea - convert the 06 into a 22-250 for the price of a box of ammo. But couldn't reliably keep it on 8.5"x11" target at 100 yds. Not much good for yotes at our ranges.

 

[mbogo3]

No the accuracy was no hell.I have about a 100 sabots I bought off of e-bay years ago with date for .30 cal rifles.........some is downright scary at 5000fps out of the big magnums.These hold a .224 bullet.haven't tried them.
