Yep, I have red tip accubonds, and Partitions and accubonds with cannelures, all overruns.

OK, just making sure it wasn't my poor computing skills. I guess they have a broke link or something.

Anyone else having issues opening the Hodgdon Reloading Data Site. I've tried several devices and it won't open. Past few days.

I have a quick load print out for 160 accubond and it shows 67.1 grs max for 62000 psi at 3124 fps from a 26" barrel.

I shot the 140 Sierra in my 7mm rem mag and they usually left a large exit. I switched to the 140 solid base which left a less dramatic exit. Both had DRT effect.

I don't know. ABs are slower than Partitions within the lengths I stated.

Of the powders you listed, I'm partial to IMR 7828 ssc. I can get close to 3000 fps with a 150 partition from a 22" barrel. My loads start at 0.040 off the lands due to the size of a model 70 magazine box. Oal on my loads hover around 3.340 +- 0.005.

I too have never hunted moose. I seem to recall that Jack O'Connor killed his first Moose with a 130 gr Silvertip from a 270 Win.

Going along with what JD posted. The camber on the 700 classic is cut with a bit more freebore so the round can be loaded to a longer length.

I put an old, say 40 yes old, M8 6x on a 270 win, last month. It wouldn't adjust and the point of impact wandered around. Sent it off to Leupold for repair. They're sending my 6x back along with a VX3HD 3.5-10x cds duplex. I guess they couldn't fix the M8.

That has to be one of the worse ads I've seen.

My first load for that Bob was a 117gr Sierra gameking with 48grs of H-4831 @ 2975 fps. Killed my biggest south Texas buck with it. A bunch of coyotes and Javelinas went down too.

It looks like they changed the jacket design a bit making the base thicker with a more abrupt taper on the Ogive.

I always liked the solid base.

Saw a flick on you tube, it is a deer specific ammunition.

Maybe an updated solid base type bullet.

Hodgdon had techs that would talk reloading with you but it's been a couple years since last called them. I get most questions answered here.

I sent an M8 6x back to Leupold last week. I sent a Vari X II back last year with an adjustment ring that wouldn't turn. Got it back a few weeks later, put it on my 7mm rem mag and zeroed it in with my favorite 160 accubond load with no trouble. The work order showed they replaced ocular...

I have been shooting 62grs of Grand with a 150 gr Partition with a Nosler case and Fed 215 Primer. My results show a consistent clean burning powder except there seems to be a 25 to 30 fps increase in velocity when the temps get into 90s. My initial loads had average velocity of 2995 fps and...

I still have 4 lbs of H-870.
