Between the mag primer and I'd bet that 140gr TGK being as long or longer than a 150gr Partition, definitely need to start lower. R22 can be very good in the 270 with heavier bullets as well. Steve99, which 140gr Hornady bullet?

Like others have mentioned, barrel length in and of itself has nothing to do with a certain weight bullet shooting well or not. Either you haven't found a 140 class bullet it likes (you didn't mention specifics) or your barrel could be one of those weird quirky ones that don't like heavier...

Not sure PJ Gunner. Could possibly be barrel twist? A 150gr ABLR in 7mm is much longer than a normal 160gr cup & core bullet most of the time. I've heard how they can be finicky and while I havent got any tiny bug hole groups, I've gotten three rifles in three different calibers sub-moa without...

As others have mentioned, they're great bullets. I love and use the regular Accubond and Partition still but have been impressed with the ABLR. You should look through the Bullet Test forum section and do a search to see many more stories and pics. I've killed a few deer with the 142gr ABLR in...

Nice to see another option for the 35 Rem! Would love to see one of those bullets put into some jugs at varying distances.

Looking good! Whats your barrel length?

I have a 455 American in 17 HMR with a Vortex on it and its a sweet little rifle. Shoots quite well. Might look into getting the trigger down in pull weight like yours.

Interesting to see so many not doing shoulder mounts and I'm one of them. Besides the obvious of cost and room, they really only mean something to the person that shot the animal. My dad had quite a few mounts over several decades that I inherited when he passed. I only kept a couple, including...

Yes, people have already been doing it.

Below is their schedule for more Z bullets releases copy & pasted from their website. 224 ........................................ July 2026 6mm ...................................... 2027 25 cal .................................... 2027 6.5mm .................................. Sept 2026 270...

Thanks for the heads up but I have quite the supply! While not a WSM, my 270 Win loves the 130gr Accubonds with Hunter powder. Puts a hurtin' on deer and pigs too! 3 shots at 100 yards with the 270 Win and 130gr Accubonds!

I think everyone got a little off track on this thread. I don't believe he was asking for other loads, but how to get his to work. @Reloader2025 any luck with trying a different sizing die or something else?

That's just the way they're designed. Most hold at least 50% weight retention. If you want more weight retention, try a regular Accubond or Partition. They're usually good for 60-75% depending on specific weight or caliber. If you want even more, step up to Sciroccos, Interbonds, A-Frames, monos...

Midway has them in stock. Only the 175gr 7mm has been released by Swift so far. Their website has a release schedule for other calibers.

Buddy got some and has them shooting pretty well in his Bergara 7mm PRC with Grand. Hes planning to deer hunt with them in the fall. Im waiting for other calibers to come out. Overkill for deer? Yes, but so are Partitions, Accubonds and any other premium bullet but I'm all for it.
