[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2842682, member: 9299"] The Remington Accelerator rounds have been discontinued for many years, and these are handloads using a box of older E. Arthur Brown sabots. When pushed "hard", the 30-06 50gr breaks the 5k fps mark, but its best accuracy in the rifle I shoot it in is around 4,700fps. The 308 with a 50gr reaches the 4,500-4,600fps range, but best for me around 4,300fps. The 300 RUM has not been tested yet, as I was discussing this on Butter Bean's thread about breaking the 5k mark with a 50-55gr. I will have to learn what powder and charge this case will like to reach top vels, but I do have some data on a 300WinMag, so I will start there with a max load and work up. I don't believe there will be a direct correlation between case capacity, as usually, I do not see that in my testing. [/QUOTE]
