Can’t find any info for 55gr 30-06 anywhere?!?

[kmk1012]

I'm trying to find some info to reload my 06's with my 55gr bullets. I'm stumped, hoping to get some help here.

Sorry, couldn't resist. These were appearantly sold about 20 years ago. They have a 22 cal 55gr bullet in a 30 cal sabot. They were sold by Remington as a way to add variety to your rifle. Say you were out deer hunting and came across a smaller game target, load one of these and bang-4200 fps out of your old 06!

The Remington Accelerator was an either or load. They either worked very well or were really lousy. I had some in .308 and they shot sub 1/2" MOA out of a Ruger Model 77 International. After going through two boxes I could never get any more and I really tried.

Still have an original box of the above, having shot only a few. As to the OP question, I stumbled across some data a while ago using sabots with 55gr bullets but don't remember where and this would not really equate to non-sabot bullets. Sorry

Thank you, I was just playing about info. The box belongs to a friend and all are unfired.

I would really enjoy shooting some of these. Factory or hand loads!

Damn! I thought you were serious and was like...

Why don't you look around for one of the old Marble sub-caliber adaptors?
It was an insert that you clipped a .32 auto pistol cartridge on to the front of
and used it in a 30-06. It had a firing pin that ran the length of it and struct
the .32 auto cartridge primer.

I've attempted to make small game loads for 30-06 and the 95gr Speer half
jackets, loaded way down worked well on Jackrabbits.

You do have to exercise care with light loads in large capacity cases.

Yep. Don't want a flashover and the resultant KABOOM!

You do have to exercise EXTREME care with light loads in large capacity cases.

FIFY.

Of you want to reduce loads look at H4895 youth loads. Hornady has a bunch of info on cutting the charge by quite a bit. Some powders can function safely and some cannot.

May not be the exact answer because of a nonstandard bullet weight.

Musta been 81 or 82 that these things were on the shelves, available in 30-30, too. I bought a couple of boxes and it was the most accurate ammo out of my ancient 94. Very minimal recoil.

How about melting the lead core from the jacket...a 30-06 jacket alone must be at least 55grns.... LOL!

Always trying to be a problem solver.

Or is it creator?

I'm honestly surprised how many didn't/don't know.

WOW! That sounds like almost as much fun as emptying the shot out a shotgun shell, melting it , then pouring it back in.....For, a "Congo Deer Slug".

Excuse my ignorance, but can you explain a flashover?
