I loved ours while we had it. great store, knowledgeable employees, and fair prices. great selection of reloading components. alas.... too good to last. they closed it about 5 years ago. shane

I use the 225 PT too, but the effective range with it is a bit limited. Nosler says it has a BC of .430, but I've not seen that bear out at the range. it also seems highly unlikely that the 225 PT and the 225 AB have identical (0.430) BC's.... but that's how its listed in their manuals. the...

the words "out of stock; no backorder" are ruining my sleep pattern....

since it appears I'll never find the projectiles I seek..... if any of you have personal experience using the 200 AB in a 358 Win (ideally in a BLR), I'd MUCH appreciate a report. That way I can live vicariously through you..... and dream of days at the range with tiny groups and blistering...

I've been looking for .358 Accubond 200's for danged near a year now. killing me.... shane

alas, I am south of you.... in Texas. Unfortunately, in TX, we have very few critters that warrant .358" projectiles of any variety, so my local stores have very little available. And what they have available arent 200 AB's. :(

my search continues. if anyone sees a box of these laying around for sale, please let me know. thanks. shane

I'm running 66.0 grains of IMR 4350 and my avg velocity is 3116 fps.

I'm using a BLR as well. I think they'll fit in my magazine. (if I can ever find any...)

my search continues. does anyone have any experience loading these for .358 Winchester? if I cant load them, I'd at least like to live vicariously through somebody else.... :)

+1 on IMR 4350 that said, I've only been loading the 168 TTSX in it.
