I got rid of my .280 but if I still had it I’d really be tempted to try the 150 Accubonds. I think it’d be the optimum weight.

Great photos Guy. I’ve been hitting a couple lakes quite a bit doing some fishing and the Bald Eagles are always present. Love watching them catch a fish.

I have a Marlin in .375 Win, also had a Ruger No 3 once too. I’ve always wanted to try one of the heavier bullets for it, just never got around to it.

Guy, I can’t stand the thought of putting a scope on a lever gun, but if I ever do it’ll be a straight tube Leupold. I’m always amazed how accurate the big lever action calibers can be. When I do my part my .450 Marlin can cloverleaf a group off the bench at 100 yards. It’d be interesting...

Guy, the No 1 is such a classy but affordable rifle. Sometimes a person needs to hunt with style:)

There is a guy that had a Kimber .338 Federal with a Redfield 2-7 for $750 on the Hunting Washington forum.

I’m a little late to the game on this one but I’ll throw this out there. I think the 150 is going to be a great bullet weight for your 7x57. I loaded 160 AB out of my Ruger No 1 with a 22 inch barrel to 2750 fps with IMR 4350 and zero sign of pressure. That’s right at .280 Rem velocities...

Speer makes a .458 300 grain they also call a Plinker. But loaded up in a .45-70 or .450 Marlin it is a great bullet that holds together extremely well and seems to perform as good or better than bullets that are marketed as a hunting bullet. If their 44 Plinker is built the same way I’d say...

I’ll echo what some others have said. My daughter shoots a 7mm-08 and it’s been a proven cartridge with a good variety of bullets. I’d really like to grab some of the new 150 Accubonds, as I think that would be a good elk bullet.

Guy, you’ve got some great country right in your backyard and a nice variety of wildlife too boot.

I’ve loaded the Accubonds since they first hit the shelves. Over the years I’ve bought them with and without the cannelure and never really noticed any significant difference in the accuracy. I’d think in the H&H they should be just the ticket.

Guy, can you shoot out through the open window next to the wood stove?? If so, I’m all over it!!!

I’ll agree with what’s already been posted as far as old and new bullets. As far as why your animal ran so far, I’ve seen absolutely weird stuff. A deer hit right on the shoulder with a .348 running through snow with absolutely zero blood anywhere except for a tiny trickle about an inch long...

That looks like an absolutely amazing trip you had. I wish we would’ve done something like that when I was in Scouts.

I wouldn’t complain about that group. Any idea what velocity you’re getting?

Guy, looks like you had a great day today.

I use the same 120 out of my daughters 7mm-08, great bullet. I’m using a 90 grain Accubond out of my other daughters .243 at 2800fps. It’s amazingly accurate and deadly on game.
