OK for coyotes probably to light for deer. I've used them plenty of times for varmints. I wouldn't shoot anything less that 140 gr. at a deer.

Neat! Suprised they are not illegal because of the ballistics thing, (Or lack of) Im sure they are illegal in Ca. I wonder if you can just get the projectiles. Make a mean 300 mag round. Wow!

Ohi saw a cool mock up bullet at a recent gun show. It was a 20 mm cannon , necked down to a 50 bmg, necked down to a 30-06 necked down to a 223 necked down to a 218 bee, ( or was it flea?) anyways the the thing was lick 3 feet long and was called, "the ultimate varmint round" way too freaking cool. I want one!!!

They have them. And for most mags you can get up to 4,800-4,900 with max loads.
You can get up to 5,300fps with max loads with the 300 Weatherby Mag
Now with a 180gr factory loading the 300RUM outpreforms the 300 Wby Mag by 100fps. I wonder if you can get up to 5,500fps (just judging by the weight of the projectlies I think even 5,600fps maybe in order ) with a 300RUM

I bet 5300 fps is where they go from a rifle to a shotgun. COOL!
OK you found me.
Actually I hand load the accellerator in .308. Lately I have been using 62gr tungsten core nickel plated .223 bullets in a .30 sabot on top of 46gr 4064. That pushes about 4300fps. Makes a pretty neat hole in 3/8 steel at 250 yards. Shoots VERY flat out to 500 yards. The sabots are available here: http://www.ammo-one.com/SABOT.html FWIW I have loaded that same bullet on top of 50gr H355 and gotten around 4800fps.
I love steel core ammo

i'm not sure of the point of even trying to use the accelerator on a deer. if you're using a 30-06 rifle, why not just use a real deer round of .30 caliber and at least 140 gr. it seems like an unneccesary risk to the deer when you are easily capable of using bullets 3 times heavier out of that gun. i mean, it could work for deer, people hunt deer with 55gr .223 all the time (though i dont reccomend it for the sake of having a better probability of a clean, humane kill). but why not use a heavier bullet for the deer. it just makes more sense...
should work good enough on coyotes i would think.

I bet it is a killer varmint round, But I must disagree with TPAW and say the 06 is not the most versitle round. Just my opinion.

Cmu, the reason the '06 is regarded as one of the most versatile rounds is the ability to utilize bullets to 220 grains on heavy-boned animals. You just can't get there with 7mms and smaller. And I've loaded down to round ball with five grains of pistol powder for squirrels. You can also get Serious Zap with 80-grain pistol bullets.
