[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1761795, member: 9299"] Another way to reach the 5k mark is with sabot loads. Remember that old Remington Accelerator load? While not as accurate as a standard caliber varmint load, I have played with a couple of manufacturer sabots in 30/22 with vels above 5k with 55gr bullets in a 30-06 with 4,800 giving better accuracy. However as stated and at or above 5k, I could never get the accuracy below about 2 MOA. On a whim, we loaded some turned and hardened 45gr steel bullets for those sabots, and their ability to penetrate steel plates at shorter ranges was extreme. Forgot, we also loaded the old Speer 70gr SP one season, around 4,400fps I believe, and used them on deer with interesting DRT results under 200. Again, insufficient accuracy was not conducive to use much beyond 300. [/QUOTE]
