The .22 Accelerator is a special loading of the .30-30, .308, and .30-06 cartridges that is manufactured by Remington.
Description
It consists of a sub-caliber {{convert|0.224|in|mm|adj=on}} diameter bullet, held in a .30-caliber {{convert|7|gr|g|adj=on}} six-fingered plastic sabot with a hollowed base.
The bullet separates from the sabot approximately {{convert|14|in|mm}} from the muzzle.
Usage
The cartridge allows for using a large-caliber rifle for varmint shooting, although the accuracy is somewhat diminished.
The advantage, however, is the extremely high muzzle velocity from factory-loaded ammunition.
