This video provides an in-depth ballistics test of the rare Remington .30-06 Accelerator round, featuring a sabot-fired 55-grain .22 caliber projectile. The expert demonstrates its extremely high velocity (tested at over 3800 fps) and its unique terminal effect, causing rapid fragmentation and energy dump with no exit wound on soft tissue. While the ballistics match the 'no exit wound' scenario discussed, the round's impracticality for long-range accuracy makes it an unlikely candidate for the hypothetical assassination.

This review compares five hunting rifles under $350, highlighting the Ruger American as the top pick for its superior accuracy (0.8995") and reliable feeding. While the Savage Axis and Remington 783 offered good accuracy (1.035" and 1.243" respectively), they had drawbacks like a lack of AccuTrigger or dangerous scope eye relief. The Thompson Center Compass suffered from feeding issues and a heavy trigger, and the Mossberg Patriot was notably inaccurate.
