I finally found some 150 gr AccuBonds, now I need some load data. Nosler doesn’t list Big Game in their data, and that’s my fav, so I’m hoping someone has some data. I have plenty of Hunter, too, which delivers the highest velocity of the powders listed by Nosler.

Tikka Varmint in .223 Rem, 75 gr ELD-M over Benchmark, 2900 fps MV, Mulie buck kilt at 475 yards.
Hit a tad high on the left side, broadside
Wrecked a vertebrae going in, big hole on the way out
Exit just behind the shoulder blade cartilage. Surprisingly little bloodshot.
Lungs a bit...
He’s got brass on the way and I’m a Hornady Custom Grade die fan.
We have Reloder 26 to try first, 143 ELDX. Can anyone help with load data? 24.3” barrel, 1-8”, Nosler brass.

I’m thinking about a winter project of working up a 162 Eldx load for my spare Tikka 7mm-08. She shoots the 150 eldx very well, 2790 fps at the muzzle. She’s the spare and I rarely shoot her, so why not test a new load, I have plenty of components.
Remington brass, WLRM, and I can load really...
So if Nosler is running at max capacity, where are all the blems? I’m used to seeing a lot more at SPS than I’ve seen in a long time. Are they making fewer mistakes?
I need 50 gr BT Varmint for my .223, and 160 AB for the 7mm Rem Mag!
So I see Nosler has a new 7mm Accubond bullet in 150 grains. I’m thinking about it paired with Reloader 26 at close to 3200 fps out on a 24.3” Tikka.
Anyone have load data for this combo?

I have a great load using the 150 eldx (2790 FPS, little bitty groups) but I keep hearing that the 162 eldx might be a better choice for longer ranges. I load the 162 in a couple of 7mm Rem Mags at 2986 fps, with great on-game performance as well.
So what does QL say about the 162 in the...
I'm looking for some information with loading Nosler's 70 gr RDF bullet in a 1-8" Tikka .223 Superlite. I'd like to shoot out to 700 yards or so and the published BC is .416, which interests me greatly. I loaded 24.5 gr of TAC at various seating depths but got inconsistent results.
I have...
Three shots, three mulie bucks, 217, 170, 102 yards. Farthest recovery was 35 feet. All bullets exited. 2798 fps mv.
Sorry I couldn't show a pic. The tenderloins were delicious.

Hornady has data for RL26 and 162 ELDX, but Nosler has no data for RL26 and 160 NAB (I called). I hear RL26 is the bee's knees in the 7mm Rem Mag. Anyone have experience with it and the 160 NAB?

I currently load for 2 7mm Rem Mags, both Tikkas. I have a bunch of once-fired brass, all Remington. Most of it (2/3) was fired in Tikka 1, the rest in Tikka 2. If I neck size only and the brass chambers easily in both rifles, am I good to go or do I still need to FL resize? I'll make sure...
I have a great load for my .30-06 but it doesn't shoot worth a hoot in my brother's rifle. I'm looking for options and I've settled on either 165 Accubond or 178 ELD-X.
22.5" barrel
WLRM primer
Remington brass
165 NAB either Big Game or Hunter
178 ELD-X Hunter
Can someone run some magic for...
I need some help understanding the difference between max charges for these cartridges.
The max charge of Varget for the .308 using 150 AB or Partition loaded to 2.800" is 46.5 grains.
The max charge of Varget for the 7mm-08 using 150 AB or Partition loaded to 2.800" is 41 grains.
The 7mm-08...
The search function didn't bring anything up, my apologies if I didn't do it right.
I just bought a few 70 grain Nosler RDF bullets to try in my 1-8" T3 .223. Anyone have a good load?
