30-06 shells

[jigginjim]

Has anyone tried shooting the 55gr 06 rounds? Was thinking of those for yotes.

[Arctic]

I'd love to try them sometime. They must come out of the muzzle SCREAMING!

I've seen the 55 grain on the ballistics tables, but never on the shelf in the store. Maybe an on-line order?

[Gordie]

are those the same as the 223 nosler in the sabot those look like they would really rip

[irvingdog]

I'd let your barrel cool down every once in a while...

Remington called them the "accelerator" for obvious reasons. You can buy the sabots and reload them. Do a search for bullet sabots. I have shot some of my own rolls in 06 and did not chrono them just in using the loading data that was sent with the sabots. Remember they were cruising according to their chart. Also tried some in 300 win mag and they were really being launched. Groups were so-so but I did not experiment much with tweaking them either at the time.

I see midway has some in 30-30 right now and list them as manufacturer discontinued. 30-06 if you search may stumble onto a box or two lying around somewhere.

Thanks WG I couldnt remember the name those are what I was talking about I think I know where there may be a box or two laying around.

[jigginjim]

I thought those could work for yote shooting. Thou don't know if hide would be ther after shot.

[Gordie]

One sure way to find out Jim

[Wanderer]

Only one way to know how they'll work in your gun, but when I tried them back when they were fairly new I was not impressed with the accuracy at all.

Just my 2 cents.

I also looked into the 55grs; but heard the same, accuracy is bad and leaves massive holes; so I opted to the 125grs

[gardn184]

saw a couple boxes of it at gander in duluth, but I've also heard bad accuracy, just waiting to finally see a yote to see what a 125 gr 06 bullet does to them

[WalleyeGod]

gardn:

That yote ain't gonna like that 125 pill! Probably make him roll over for ya.
