Have no pics, guys, but just had to share my experiences this fall, deer hunting with My Remington 700 CDL and the 140 Accubond, loaded to 3025 fps. First, this load is absolutely deadly in this rifle. I have had groups as small as 1¼" @ 300 yards, with none over 2". I shot three deer this fall...

While I have not used the Accubond exclusively, I shot 4 head of game over the past two seasons with them [used Partitions for my elk and mule deer, 30-338 for the Elk, 6mm and 270 for the deer] I recovered only one, that being a 140 grainer that I took a 190 lb Muley buck with. The rifle was a...

Was wondering if any of the reloaders out there have tried this number yet or not? I'm a bit curious if it is close to RL15 in burning rate. The charts put it slightly faster, but I was looking for some real world experience. I believe it is a candidate for the 300 Savage, the 8x57JS and the 35...

Well, I must say, my freezer is looking in fine shape this year. Just returned from a 6 day hunt in two separate locations. [3 days in one, 3 in the other.] To show for my efforts I have: One very nice cow Elk, two muleys and one young Bull Moose. To say that I am pleased is a gross...

My 700 "Classic" in 8x57 lost it's virginity last evening on a medium sized Black Bear [about 250/275 lbs] One 200 Partition at 150 yards positively flattened this guy!! Exit was about 1½" in diameter and his lungs were devastated. I saw 7 Black Bears and one grizzly, all within about an hour...

I am really starting to like this rifle! I was out at the range this afternoon with it again, and it shot so well that I am totally elated. The 180 Ballistic tip chrony'd 2825 and the three groups were .77", .81" and .33" The 200 partition graphed 2565 and shot .97", 1.03" and 1.19" The 170...

This is a question for Nosler: Is the 180 Ballistic Tip in 8mm diameter a fairly sturdy BT? I am interested in trying it in a 8x57 [modern rifle] and am sure it can be driven to 2700+ Was curious if the jacket is heavier than some of the smaller diameter BT's. Thanks, Eagleye.

Well, folks, I just got back from a very gratifying Mule deer hunt. I hunted hard for three days in the worst wind conditions in years. Game was not moving a lot, and the wind was so strong it kept trying to blow my hunting hat off my head. :( Saw a few deer each day, but not much that was...

I have observed in comparing several Accubonds with their Ballistic Tip counterparts [ .284-140, .277-140, .308-180], that the Accubond is slightly longer in each case. Can I take this to mean that the jacket may be slightly thicker on the AB? Is the BC also slightly higher on the AB? Just...
