Hey nedfig, Art's and Poodleshooter's posts reminded me of a plinking Load I used at one time.

I was using a 110gr RNSP bullet in a 300Sav just to get some trigger-time with that rifle and I seem to remember I was getting around 2" groups at 100yds with IMR-4064.

A buddy got curious about what I was shooting and asked to try some out. After shooting a few, he decided to load some for his 30-06. He used the same bulk 110gr RNSPs in his 30-06 with IMR-4064. I'd not bet money on it, but I think he was getting 1.5" groups at 100yds with it after a bit of playing with the load.

I do remember we were paying $4/100 for those bulk 110gr bullets back then at the Gun Shows, so I would guess that was 10-12 years ago. He still loads them as far as I know.

I don't know anyone personally who has shot the Accelerators, so I can't help you there.

Good hunting and clean 1-shot kills, Hot Core
