Guy, perfect rifle for the job. I also have some of the original (lathe turned) noslers in 270 and 300 grain if you need a few more. (After 35 years, I sold my 375 recently). The 250 grain North Fork might be a good choice at 2,900 fps. (The 250 grain Bitterroot was my favorite). "Hunts"...

Ridgerunner, Can you link to some of your posts on the 125 grain BT? I will post results in a couple days of the 125 Accubond recovered from my std bullet test collector, 5 gallon nylon Home Depot buckets filled with water, which closely duplicates results using IWBA 10% gelatin. (See my...

I have shot about 20 of the 125 grain Accubond in my Remington 40X with 20 inch barrel. 51.2 grains W748 and WLR primer in WW brass gave me 3161 fps average velocity. 3144 - 3175 fps ES. 0.6 to 0.9 inch 5-shot groups, with virtually no horizontal dispersion, mostly vertical and all bullets...

Oldtrader, The bullet was a bonded core solid base Rhino made in South Africa. He did not kill a Rhinocerous. (Endangered or protected depending on species). The 35 Whelan and Whelan Improved was effective on bison for me, and if you push a 9.3 to those velocities it should be effective...

125 Accubonds. Im getting about 3150 fps from 308 wnchester in 20 inch barrel with WW brass and primer and 51.2 grains W748. All 5 touching but with a bit of vertical dispersion. Shoots 2 inches high and no difference in windage from my 168 Federal and 175 grain BH and 175 SSA loads. Talk...

I recently clocked 3150 fps with 308 winchester and 125 accubonds and all five touching with a bit of vertical spread with 20 inch barrel remington 40 x Tactical set up with badger creek ten round magazine.

I got a chance to shoot about 20 rounds today. Low veolocity 2612 out of an unfoled barrel. 2640-2655 thereafter. A bit faster than Black Hills 175's (2620). Not bad from a 20 inch barrel! Most groups all touching at 100 and nearly so at 200 despite brisk 11 oclock wind. Good stuff, except...

Oldtrader and bullet, I know a fellow in Canada who took his favorite 9.3 bison hunting. He used his Africa load for it (a heavy and slow Rhino) and was very disapointed, as I knew he would be. Sure it will kill them, just like the Indians on a pony did with an obsidian head projectile point...

Depending on your altitude above sea level you might find 1,030 fps more reliable. I keep my 22 LR at 1.030 fps out of my AWC bolt gun and have never gone supersonic. If your groups show signs of tipping on the target try a flat base rather than a boat tail bullet. Or a RN if necessary. In a...

If you are not getting the velocity you expect from manuals try a hotter primer?

Anyone have favorite load they want to share for the 175 Nosler HPBT? 308 Winchester. I am switching from SMK's. My 168 SMK liked 43 grains IMR 4895. Used 41 grains with 175's. BH and Federal 175's chrono 2620 fps in my 20 inch Rem 40X. Thanks!

I have a very accurate Remington 40 x and am re-installling a Leupold Mk4 10 X target scope w 30mm rings. the rings have a 1/2 inch hex nut on left side. They unscrewed without alot of tension on socket set wrench. What sort of protocol do you guys use for mounting a precision optic on the...

Thanks Jake. I have also used the Nos BT for coyotes. My farthest shot about 360 yards lased the next day, bang flop even though I hit him on one of last ribs angle going forward was right. They just are not tearing rock chucks in two. I am shooting older BT's however, going back 15 years or...

3 1/2 year old post but Ive shot alot of bison. I grew up with them on my fathers ranch in NE oregon. All depends where you shoot them. I have seen 30-06 core lokts fail to make it through their calvarium in to brain. Ive shot 45 acp KTW armor piercing into their skull at point blank range...

I just purchased 200 rounds. Anyone using it? If so have you chronographed it. Is it true that Nosler has purchased SSA? Anyone used it at 600 or 1000 yards?

Anyone using the 55 grain Varmagedon in 22-250 or 22-250 Ackley? Do you all recommend HP or balliistic tip? I ask because the 55 grain BT I have been using despite high velocity does not expand too rapidly on rock chucks. A friends 223 remington with hornady 60 grain SP will tear them in two...

Dr Mike, Thanks very much!! (Going to the range tomorrow). Andy

I have been using 175 grain black Hills and Federal ammo in 20 inch Remington 40X with Badger Creek magazine conversion. Have alot of brass to reload. Id like to keep at 2620 fps I am getting now with the SMK's. I am limited to 2.80 OCL because of the magazine feed. I have RL15, Varget, 4895...

I have heard from several (3) 6.5 CM shooters that RL17 really eats up the 6.5 barrels. Dont know this first hand so take for what its worth but H4350 slowest powder they recommend.

Anyone chronographed the Creedmore in a shorter than normal barrel? Thinking of going tactical with one, but not sure about chopping off that much barrel length.
