Question:Remington of 30-06 Accelerator PSP 55 of gr.?
I never used this cartridge . Who will prompt his real tasks and possibilities ?
Is distance, ballistic coefficient, destructive power and destiny which ?
Is it visible it is in a greater degree intended for VARMINT?
Thank you for an answer .

I have not heard very good things about them.
I think most of the time you're going to be much better off shooting your standard 150-165gr bullets. The regular 30-06 rounds are fine for occassional shots on the larger varmits (or smaller varmints for that matter). For higher volume shooting, I'd be getting something with less recoil as well as price of ammunition.

I constantly use Sako and Norma, but now pass from after the offered price on the cartridges of Remington Core-lokt PSP 180 grain and 220 grain,-cost of unit of such cartridge for us $1.66.
Thank you for an answer.

I've never used them - considered them to be a waste of money. What are they for? - to use your hunting rifle, be it a .30/30, .308 Win, or .30/06 for long range varmint hunting.
The ballistic specs tout muzzle speeds of the 55gr. PSP in the '06 exceeding the .220 Swift - flatter shooting BUT - in order to meet the requirements, accuracy is vital. Over the years, I've read of one .30/06, out of perhaps 15, that produced less than 2" groups at 100 yards, and that was back in the 1970's when they first came out. 2" at 100 is over 4" at 200 and probably over 8" at 300. What good is that when the chest cavity of most varmints is smaller than the 'potential best grouping from your rifle.
If you want a good varmint load from your '06, buy some 125gr. TNT Speers, 130gr. Speer BP's or 125gr. Sierra's and work up a 3,300fps load. These loads are accurate and are also devistating on vermin. If you want to save pelts, use a 150gr. FMJ at about 2,800fps. Learn to shoot them at all ranges you will be using them at. Even though they aren't doing 4,000fps, they'll still give a flat enough trajectory for shooting vermin at out to 400yards.

The only (potential) problem is the rifle twist. Will it be able to shoot 125-130 grain bullets accurately out to 200-300 meters, there's no way to find out other than to try I guess.

I am rather inclined to think that this cartridge is grain weighing 55, rather on a large account spending of money, what enjoying.
Indeed for firing on rodents, foxes, wolf and bobac I use 30-06 in 124 grains and it even always enough on distant distances to 300 yards, more distant distances of however require more heavy bullet-will say in a 180 grain.
