You can check the bullet test forums for plenty of pics of recovered AB's. My experience is they have been very consistent in their expansion across multiple calibers and generally 60-70% weight retention. These pics are of a 160gr Accubond from a 7 RM into a whitetail. Deer was quartering.

I learned a while ago, if there's a bullet I like and it shoots well, I buy a good supply. That way I don't have to worry about it and prices of things are only increasing. I'm like a lot on here, I constantly keep an eye for the Nosler blems/2nds. Much better deal and I can't tell a difference...

Guess you've been liking the GAP builds? I keep looking at their website, especially the in stock rifles.

Talk about a nice group and consistency with that powder and bullet! Almost looks like it was shot from a different gun. That'll be a very versatile load once you pick a powder charge. Not much a 140gr Partition can't do. What kind of velocity are you getting and barrel length?

Tikka T3x Stainless Hunter in 6.5x55 Weatherby Mark V Accumark in 257 Weatherby Sig P220 Hunter in 10mm Those three are up to deer hunt this year and none have gone hunting yet or a load developed. Also wouldn't mind working up a load in my Marlin 336 in 35 Rem with the RCBS 200gr FN bullets I...

While I have ran some cheap rings before and you don't exactly need to a spend a fortune, I always thought it was funny that some people will spend tons on a rifle and scope and then go the budget route for rings/bases. Stuff happens though and at times, that's all we can afford. That said...

Enough water filled milk jugs will catch pretty much any bullet.

Can't say I'm in the market for one but a very cool pistol. That rear sight is something too.

It really is sweet. Craftsmanship is first rate, everything looks and feels topnotch and of course it shoots lights out. Yes, it's a lot of money. However, instead of buying two or three cheaper pistols, you can just save up and get one really good one. I ended up saving up and selling a pistol...

I certainly don't have the experience you do with double-stack 1911's but went all in and got a Wilson Combat EDCX9 about two years ago and love it. It's the most I've ever spent on one gun and it's now one of my off-duty carry guns. I was looking hard at the Staccato until my FFL got an awesome...

The projectiles are no different than what is already offered in other 7mm's. Like always, select the appropriate bullet for the job at hand. Federal released this load with the excellent Terminal Ascent bullet. The cartridge itself has nothing to do with the questions of bullet performance...

He should charge y'all for as often as people ask him😆

Some may have seen this in the 7mm bullet test thread. I shot this old buck in Alabama on January 17th with a 168gr Accubond LR from a 7mm PRC. Members of the club had been calling him Unibrow and three other hunters had shot and missed him within the last couple of weeks. Great way to start 2025!

Ha, you're right, long range cartridge and bullet and a 6-24x50 scope and I shoot the deer under 100 yards. Honestly I don't plan on ever shooting a deer long range, I just like the equipment!

Whoops, I'll edit the post but it's a 7mm PRC.

I recovered another ABLR, this time in 7mm from a 7mm PRC. I do an annual hunt trip to Alabama to hunt with one of my best friends at his hunt club. We hit the rut just perfect and we saw tons of rutting activity. Two nice 8 pts were shot earlier in the week and one of the properties target...

Tons of good powders, just depends on what you want to do. Also, do you mean 225gr FTX? I believe Hornady only makes XTP's in .44 cal in 180, 200, 240 & 300 gr. I love the 240gr XTP's, they work well to plink as well for deer hunting. If you're looking for max velocity H110/W296 and Lil'Gun. My...

Sweet rifle, would love to get an M21 eventually. Did you mean 2-12? Or is it a VX-5?

Damn, that looks like an excellent combo and that bullet held together surprisingly well for that speed. Nice job. What are you shooting it out of?

I've also loaded 165gr Accubonds in a 30-06 with a similar velocity for a friend. He put down two large hogs with two shots in about 3 seconds. My go to load in my 30-06 Encore pistol is the 150gr AB or PT.
