Yes it is a D'arcy echols stock waited about a year for it to be made, it is the best fitting stock I've ever had for sure.

Here is the rifle, it has really become my favorite do everything rifle.

Old thread but always like to add to it. My 350 RM has a long throat, I built it on a pre-64 model 70. My favorite load has been 61 grains of RL 15 and the 225 accubond at 2800 fps. My barrel is 24 inches

Anyone have a few things you would like to see come out next year, besides keeping up with what they make now.

Yes, I'm going to put the framed picture underneath the antlers. I'm going to turn it into a European mount, should look really nice.

A little bit about the rifle first I guess. It is a Kevin Weaver custom on a pre-64 Model 70 action in a mcmillan D'Arcy Echols stock, Lilia 1-12 stainless barrel it is a 350 Rem. Mag. Loaded long, cartridge OAL is just short of 3.200 with the nosler 225 Accubond. I got the rifle from Kevin...

My elk.

This is a picture of one that went through the front shoulder of a 5 point bull elk and lodged just under the hide on the other side. Retained weight was 155 grains. Muzzle velocity was 2750 and the shot was 170 yards.

After trying them in three different rifles I finally found one that actually likes them and shoots them into tiny little groups, my last 200 yard three shot group was 3/4 of an inch. Anyway it is a 6.5-06 Ackely shooting them at 3200 fps. Looking at the way they blow-up water jugs at 300 and...

It was 148 grains.

I figure with 2016 being just around the corner it might be a good time to bring this thread back to life. My list is a 35 caliber 250 accubond. And make enough bullets so that we can buy them when we need them.

I'm all for some 235 accubonds, they would make my 375-06 hum.

I figure I will use it for open country mule deer and elk this year I will give some more updates in a few months I hope. I guess a little real world result are more interesting then milk jugs.

Shot this at 50 yards out of my 358 STA went through four milk jugs and lodged in the 5th. Retained weight was 148 grains. My muzzle velocity is 3150 so I figured it hit going over 3000 fps. Not bad performance.

Thanks JD338 that is music to my ears, I will make sure and stock up when they start showing up. Got to love this forum with responses like this.
