Some bullets have a distance to the lands that just makes them perform well. Some seem to work best when touching or even a little into the lands.
What has your experience been with Accubonds? I have some of the 110 AB's for my 25-06 and want to get a feel for what others have found...
That is why I guide. I get PAID to hunt! I don't get to pull the trigger, but I get to live the hunt.
Seriously, talk to the outfitter I work for - hunt@greatwesternhunting.com - Darrell runs one of the best camps I have ever seen. Pretty much 100% success on 5 point or bigger bulls and it...
Which Accubond? I played with the 200 grain before the 180 came out and could not find anything I really liked in it. The length of the bullet with the short case and short action made seating interesting. I did not want to single feed it for hunting and it was way in the case if it would fit...

I have three rifles with slimline muzzlebrakes on them (25-06, 300 SAUM, 338 RUM) put on by Kevin Knight at www.accuraterifle.com . I regularly change between the brake and threaded protector cap on the 300 and 25-06. I have not found any noticable change in POI...
Let me see if I have this right.
270 Winchester (Not a magnum, but still medium fast)
Average 100 round per month = 1200 per year
Had it for 15 years, so figure a conservative 10 years of shooting consistently.
