30-06 accelerator rounds for coyotes

[atomicjoe23]

You could try these.  Its says for light thin skinned game.     Not that it matters but it also one of the coolest looking bullets I have seen.

I shot the 55 gr. version of these out of my .22-250 and my gun absolutely hated the round. . .it shot the cheap Winchester USA 45 gr. JHP's sub 1/2 MOA, but it did not like the Ballistic Tips at all. . .I can't find the Win USA stuff locally so I'm gonna try some of the 40 & 50 gr. Ballistic Tips on Saturday and I'm hoping that it will like one of them as much as the 45 gr. JHP's. . .

. . .but they do look cool with the silver case and grey bullet. . .

I wanted to revive this thread because i'm going to be doing some experimenting with the excellerator rounds.
 https://www.eabco.com/reload02.html I ordered up the starter kit for these sabots... I'm gona be working with an custom hand loader near by. The starter kit is like $20 and 8 bucks shipping. has 100 sabots and sabot seater...  I have a stock 30 06 rem 700 that i may do a little work to...  My hope is to be able to whack a yote with these out to 400yrds or so... I look forward to letting everyone know how it works..

I'd look at some 150gr bullets they would be the best bet.

I've been using either 165 grain trophy bonded bear-claws (not too concerned about fur) or 150 grain CMP ball ammo. both work ok... I am a left handed shooter and like lefty guns... cannot quite justify an AR which i'd really like and believe if i can afford $800 for a pimp 22-250 w Nikon ballistic drop scope then i might as well buck up for an AR with the same scope.  Since neither is much of a possibility I figured I'd give this a try... I'm willing to drop a few hundred to improve my 06 and see if this works.

Try these http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=1482335572 you will retain much more velocity at long range using the heavier bullets instead of the sabot rounds.

I shot some accelerators and I might as well be shooting my bow at 200yds. Not accurate for me.

  Even a good 150 grain boattail bullet will fly way better than those lightweight .223 caliber bullets w/sabots. The wind is really going to blow them off course at 400 yards. That 175 Sierra would be a good flat shooting bullet but I'd probably go with a 150 grain just because of the recoil factor.

Tried em as a young buck for the cool factor. Never used them in the field because of accuracy problems. I can tell you it's a very potent watermelon killen round.

Jimmy, your 06 unless it's a freak or special order is a 1 in 10 twist, 55gr .224 will do great from about 1 in 9 to 1 in 12.

Hmmm Sooo how many ravens have ya got?   

[bobcat]

Sounds like a job I would like to have! 

[BlackRidge]

I've found the somewhat inexpensive Remington Coreloks work well

Good accuracy, cheap in comparison and out of an -06, that yote is paste 

[coachcw]

is there a 06 that groups , not impressed with any ive ever shot .

Try shooting without flinching! The cartridge is very accurate.

[bobcat]

It's not so much a particular cartridge that is accurate or not accurate, it's the rifle. A rifle chambered in 30-06 is just as likely to be accurate as if it was chambered in any other cartridge. I'm not sure the 30-06 would be the most popular cartridge ever if it wasn't capable of being accurate.
