So I wonder if load data will change?
Their online data still has highlighted section stating E-Tips should be started at lowest charge weight.
I am just getting into trying these for 308 & 7mm mag.
I have a 6mm Rem. in Ruger#1. It gets quite a pronounced pressure ring about 1 centimeter from the case head. Came to the conclusion that when chamber was reamed they used a reamer that was out of spec and slightly larger than SAAMI specs for 6mm. It is worse with winchester cases....found...
Great Moose...
Great Bullet...
Great Pics....

328 yards, perfect mushroom and about 72% weight retention.
So we know Accubonds expand nicely at 3500 fps or around 2483 fps.(muzzle velocity of 3000 fps 7mm Rem Mag 160gr...
thanks for the input...but doesn't really apply to what I am asking???
just a note....according to the Hodgdon data 73.5 Gr of Retumbo compressed yields 2963 fps with a 162 Hornady SPBT.(your 108 fps faster than book numbers and appears to be unsafe load?) ...please explain how you can...
I have a 7mm Rem Mag Ruger No.1 with quite a long throat.
The barrel is 26 inchs.
I am trying to work up a load with Retumbo and 160gr Accubonds.
I measured the OAL length using the bullet jam into the lands technique and the average came out to 3.520.
Should I start at 3.505 or 3.490?
Will...
