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