my buddy loads 260 grain Accubonds in his Alaskan, over 84.0 grs H4350, does 2750 fps out of his 20" tube

I used 70s last year and 55s this year. Both hammer yotes at any range, so far the 55s seem to be more fur friendly. Varget or RL15 are the best powders IMO

Upon further inspection of a Nosler 48, next to a Weatherby Vanguard, I found they are one in the same! :shock: I will admit the 48 is alot more refined, but I was kind of suprised that Nosler would use such a low priced action for their custom rifles, despite how effective the Vanguard...

165 grain Nosler Accubonds

60 grain NBT eh? makes me want a 1-10 twist 22-250 AI :oops:

I havent gotten to play with my new 280 much but I think I have found my varmint load already. 59 grains of H4350 behind a 120 grain Vmax does 3200 fps and groups under 1" for 5 shots.

Im using Varget but RL15 works almost as well in my rifle.

I whacked five yotes last winter with the 70 NBT in my 243 (3500 f/s). First shot was a 300y frontal which didnt exit (planted yote in tracks). Second was 275 yard head shot, it made a mess of her head. Third was 80 yard quartering shot that blew up on impact and exited too, big hole. Fourth...

this isnt something I would go out and try to do, but from now on I think I will have a few 100 grain bullets in my pocket when I go coyote hunting during a deer season 8)

oh yes the rest of the story 8) he jumped a bit and slowly trotted 80 yards before his legs got weak and he fell on his face, two kicks and he was done bullet actually went right through him :o nearside lung was absolute pulp, the farside lung only had a golfball sized hole in it, and the...

I know what you're thinking I was out coyote hunting as I had given up hope of finding a big buck and season closes in a few days. Out comes this nice mulie and all I had was my 243 with 55 NBT @ 3815 fps. He turned broadside at 75 yards, and I let him have it

my first elk, September 3rd 2007 30-06, 165 grain Accubond, 98 yards bang-flop

I just bought another 260, this one a 700 Ti :)

I got a box and a half of 120 Ballistic Tips I could try too...maybe this weekend :grin:

I'd be using them for hunting mule deer and whitetails in open farmland country where ranges can vary from 50 to 400 yards. I shot some today, 2890 f/s average velocity and groups ran from .6" to 1.2" for 3 shots at 100 yards. I think I'm good to go! :grin:

who has used these on game? and how did they work Im going to try them in a 260 Remington

I had a 1-9 twist 260 that wouldnt stabilize 140 grain X bullets My current 260 has a 1:8 twist and it handles everything Id think a 1:10 twist would be best with 129 grain Interlocks and smaller

anybody done much loading with the 55 grain bullets in the 243 Winchester?? I've done a bit with the 58 grain Vmax, got up to 3800 fps in my 24" barrel Model 700 with Varget. Hornady lists their 58 gr factory load @ 3750 fps, which is pretty mild Id think. Federal and Winchester both load 55...

I handled one at a gun show and it amazed me :grin:

I got a ChargeMaster 1500 too, tis pure awesome :grin:
