Is the 30-30 accellerator ammo accurate?

If you're thinking minute of coyote chest, then yes, they can be that accurate.

If you're thinking groundhog chest at 150+ yards, then it's an iffy bet at best with my experience.

I really tested the 30-06, and 30-30 versions years ago when an uncle ended up with several boxes of each caliber, and they sure didn't group well out of a few different rifles.

Shot a friends Marlin 336C w/3x9 32mil scope & those accelerators shot very well @100yds.
Knew of two other guys (were & are good shots) who tryed 40 accelerators out of an /06 and only collected six groundhogs.
If you reload or know a reloader, I think the componets & data are avalible to put some together for your 30-30.

I tried them when they first came out for the .30-06 and accuracy isnt a word Id use to describe the groups it shot. Patterns would be a better description. After that I lost all interest in trying them in any other cartridge. Lawdog

I need to agree with Lawdog on this one. I use the 30-30 accelerators, when they first came out and I never could get a very good grouping. I could have got a better group with a shotgun. :-D
