"As usual, Remington marketing people screwed it up."
No, not exactly. The Accelerator ammo was produced until at least 2000 in .30-30 and .30-06--though a .308 Winchester load was also introduced and dropped by then. The .30-06 Accelerator load pushed 55-grain bullets faster than .220 Swift velocities, advertised at 4080 fps. They also produced some more fairly recently, as it's still on the MidwayUSA website listed as "new production," though it has since been discontinued, probably due to Remington's other problems, the result of being owned by a holding company, resulting in the recent backruptcy sale.
