I have seen one article on them before and the accuracy was not better than an inch and a half at 100 yards, I would try getting a rifle made for such a bullet without a sabot. If you are really wanting to hit the thousand yard mark, get a better cartridge with a bullet of a very high b.c.

It depends on what kind of varmint, I suppose. As a kid, we used the old factory accelerators on coyotes with much success, and slightly less success on prairie dogs out to 300 yards. The last group I remember shooting with them was a shade under an inch at 100 yards.

But they weren't exactly cheap on a high school kid's after-school wages. Nevertheless, we'd carry a couple of them in a pocket during deer season to deal with an odd coyote here or there, not to mention the opportunity to fill a turkey tag without a 150-grain softpoint vaporizing it.

I haven't worked any loads up yet, but I don't have any expectations other than some day at least replicating the performance of the old factory loads.

Just something different to experiment with.

Remington made a 55 grain 30.06. I bought a box on ammoman.com I always wanted to know two things. What happens to the Sabot and does the round have any kind of rifling on it after it is shot?

I think he is correct with the MOA. Minute of ACRE!!!!!!!!!! :eek2: Just buy a .223 or 22-250 and be done with it or just load the 308 light and enjoy that.

The sabot falls off and no on the rifling. The rifling is on the sabot.

BTW: The US military developed an armor penetrating saboted round in 7.62mm caliber. The round did not work well when fired from machine guns. The sabots would sometimes break up and cause the penetrator to puncture the side of the gun barrel.
