I had a feeling that the Accubonds will be recovered before the hunt, those brutes are hard to get a pass through with neck and shoulder shots. If shooting at the crease behind the shoulder, the Accubond is capable of passing through. I have used 7mm Scirrocco 150 grain from a 7 STW, and they...

Got done with the backstraps and loins, and got them into sections and vacuum sealed, neck whatever is left from it, about 1/3 is bloodshot with a few copper fragments. I was able to cut out the bad pieces and wash some of the blood off and will use it for the grind along with the shoulders. Got...

Woke at 3 am, got all my gear ready and loaded in the truck plus 3 ice chests loaded up with ice. Filled up the truck and grabbed two burritos for the road with some coffee. Hooked up with the guide at the gate at 6 am and was warmly greeted at camp by the owner and another guest. Settled all...

Sucks that RL powders are scarce. I like RL 22 for my 300 WM and RL 15 for my .308, but I like Varget better. I did a test today to verify claims about temp stability, ran out to the range early this morning to put a few @100 and @350 yards. Checked the Xero last time I tested, speed was at...

That is neat to have a sheet of powder comparisons for a certain rifle to keep in the notebook for future references. Which powders have worked best for you in that rifle?

I use encapsulated citric acid, it releases the acidity when it comes to a certain temperature, probably around 150 degrees or so when smoking summer sausage.. Citric acid is different, which is used for canning, as a preservative, etc . Encapsulated citric acid and citric acid are not the same.

H4350 works in a lot of rifles. I only use H4350 in my Creedmoor, so consistent and accurate.

Have you ran 3 shot groups in .3 grain increments and see what the paper tells you? You should be able to find a node within those groups. What powder are you using in this test?

I grabbed a box of 165 Accubonds from Bass Pro the other day for my .308, I've always used the ELD 178's and the 150,165,and 168 Ballistic Tips, I need to give this bullet a try soon. I should be able to put it in the 2800 fps zone with Varget.

Not for me, but its a cool thing. I would not buy something that is put on the market without being tested first for any failures down the road. I 'll stick to what I have been using and they work for me. I rather see this new caliber being on the market for a few years before buying into it...

Biden has done other crap as well to give Trump a hard time before Biden leaves office. Biden seems he isn't there to help America and neither Kamala.

What is the twist in your rifle?

I had similar creases and folds like that in some cases in the past, not much. Surely a defect that was overlooked at the manufacturer.

Went out this evening to sight in my 300 WM / 180 Accubonds, wanted to confirm again on the cold bore issue a second time. Winds was variable around 12-18 mph right to left. On the first target, I used a target that was previously shot at,,,cold bore at 12 o clock high, 2nd shot in the same...

Nitride is what makes the actions cycle smooth. I'll put a SS barrel on it, or a matching color to go with the nitride.

Oh no, that was a nightmare. I once cleaned a 308 custom rifle back in the 90's with Sweets, I ran a wet patch down the bore, and left the garage for a few minutes to return to resume my chore with the barrel cleaning,,,once I went inside and the phone rang and had business to take care of, then...

I'm curious, do you clean the bores after the shooting sessions before putting them in the safe. I've always put them in the safe after shooting without cleaning the bores and on seldom occasions, if i feel that barrels need cleaning, I'd clean the bores, put some lube on the bolt and grease the...

I never tried Reloader 16 or 23 powders except the 26. How have the RL 16 powders worked for you in speed and accuracy? Just noticed that there are RL 16 online.

Happy Birthday Mike, appreciated your knowledge and recommendations on the forum. Have a good one.

After the hunts, I'll shoot three 200 Accubonds again and see if its the problem. Just loaded 35 rounds of 180's last night and zero in a few days before the nilgai hunt.
