    28 Nosler on Long Range Elk

    I put together a 28 Nosler rifle for a friend of mine specifically for a limited entry elk hunt he had drawn this year. He doesn't reload so I set the rifle up for the factory Nosler 175 grain Accubond Long Range cartridges. Honestly, I'm impressed with their velocity and accuracy. I clocked...

    South Africa Hunt

    I recently returned from my first hunt on the African continent. Several friends and I were invited almost two years ago by Kannas Kannemeyer of Wild Wildebeest Safaris in South Africa. This past month three of us were finally able to make long time dreams come true, and we went on our first...

    260 gr Accubond Accuracy w/375 Ruger

    I recently had a new Lilja barrel installed on a Winchester Model 70 action chambered for the 375 Ruger cartridge. The barrel is finished at 22". I started with the 260 grain Accubond bullet because I was hoping to shoot somewhere around MOA out to 300 yards. I figured if any 375 bullet could...

    .284 175 gr Accubond LR

    Any idea when more .284 175 grain Accubond Long range bullets will hit the shelves for reloading? I was fortunate enough to obtain a box of 100 a year ago but haven't been able to obtain any more since. I've developed sweet loads for the 7mm WSM and 7mm Ultra Mag and would like to load up and...

    2013 Alaksa Yukon Moose w/Accubond

    Was able to take a nice moose in the Alaska Mountain Range on the afternoon of September 20th.... last day of the season. My guide called this bull moose up from 506 yards away to 120 yards where I was able to put him down with one shot from my .300 Ultra Mag and a 180 grain Accubond bullet...

    .338 300 grain Accubond

    Any press releases, comments or load data out there on this new offering? I assume this heavy bullet is being put out there for the big Laupa/Weatherby/Ultra Mag fans.... of which I am one. :wink:

    WSM Barrel Grooves

    I have a factory Winchester Model 70 WSM I would like to rebarrel to a 7mm WSM for a long range hunting rifle project. It looks like the factory WSM barrel comes with a 4 groove barrel. Is it a problem to replace it with a Rock Creek or Bartlein 5 groove barrel? Thank you.

    Bedding Factory Synthetic Stocks

    Is there a bedding material out there made to bed factory synthetic stocks like Remington, Winchester, Ruger, etc....? I have a Remington 700 XCR and I'm not quite sure the existing epoxy bedding products will stick to what appears to be more of a plastic stock than anything else. Brownells...

    First Bull Elk

    My good friend's son, Ketih was fortunate to draw a limited entry elk tag on the Utah Wasatch unit this year. After blowing the stock on this big 6x6 bull we quickly setup hoping for a shot as the bull worked his cows out of the bottom and up the other side of the canyon. The cows cleared...

    180 gr. Accubond=373 Utah Bull

    Here is a beautiful 373 7x7 bull elk taken by my cousin this past September on the Utah, Wasatch limited entry elk hunt. The bull was shot from a very long distance with a custom .300 Ultra Mag using handloaded 180 grain Nosler Accubond bullets. The bullet hit the back side of the shoulder...

    340 Bull meets 130 gr Accubond

    My 15 year old son dumped a nice 6x8 bull elk in Wyoming during the fall of 2007. His .300 WSM was having trouble so he ended up hunting with my .270 WSM loaded with 130 grain Accubond bullets. We found 8 bulls late in the morning feeding on the far side of a large meadow. After an hour and a...

    .338 BT's, where'd they go?

    Did Nosler discontinue making the Ballistic Tip for the .338? I hope not. I really like the bullet for smaller big game and target shooting.

    A litte much, but it worked...

    I built a custom rifle on a Winchester action and chambered in the .375 Remington Ultra Mag. Something I plan to take to Africa sometime down the road. I started loading with 94.0 grains of IMR4350, and a Remington 9 1/2M primer and a 260 grain Accubond. My rifle allowed me to load up to 96.0...
