Thanks for the response! I should have added that my rifle is a M70 with a 26" Hart barrel.
I have a few pounds of IMR 4350 on hand but I will buy whichever the most efficient powder is.
Maybe I should wait for Nosler to publish load data for 168gr ABLR's??
SJB,
You make good sense to stay with the 160's.
I am wondering though why you say that the ABLR's will NOT be the penetrators that the Accubonds are?? I thought that they are made just the same, only re-shaped for better BC?? That would definitely factor into the mix and I totally agree with...
Thanks for you're help fellas!
Here's a bit more info on my situation:
As I said before I am shooting a 7mm Rem Mag with a 26" Hart Barrel with 1:10 Twist.
It shoots 160gr Accubonds/Origional at average 3056fps below 1/2MOA if I don't screw-up.
I had some 160gr Trophy Bonded Tipped Bullets...
Hi Charlie,
I agree with your thoughts on a heavy for caliber bullet but in my case, my barrel is a 1:10 twist so I don't think it will stabilize anything longer than the 150. It shoots regular 160gr Accubonds perfectly, but the 168's are longer.
