.22 Accelerator

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 0.224 in diameter bullet, held in a .30-caliber 7 gr six-fingered plastic sabot with a hollowed base.

The bullet separates from the sabot approximately 14 in 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.
