The whole time I was reading the story I wondered whether I would have given up, particularly when the blood trail stopped. Elk must be an incredible animal to hunt. Well done

6.5 130 grain ballistic tip. 9.3 230 and 250 grain ballistic tip 100 count boxes

The 150bt in my 7mmRM has been my go to bullet for two decades. I have never recovered one from probably 30 plus red deer. They are super accurate and a fantastic bullet.

Dear Nosler Santa, was hoping you might make a 6.5 130 ballistic tip that I could use instead of the accubond for range time. I was hoping you might make a 9.3 calibre ballistic tip too whilst you’re in the shed playing around. Reckon box sizes of 100 for non-premium bullets would be great too...

That’s going to be some nice meals right there. That’s a lot of frontal area on that bullet, no wonder she was a bang flop. Great job.

150grain accubond on pigs is outstanding out of a 270win. A 225accubond out of a 338wm absolutely punishes camels. 140accubond on fallow deer out of a 7mm08 is excellent. I would happily shoot accubonds in all my rifles if they proved to be the most accurate. As a hunting projectile I find them...

Running the 200grain accubond in my 300rum. Shoot very accurately with retumbo

I do sometimes wonder with the small calibre bullets that are great for target shooting at longer range and then we seek a hunting bullet to do the same, whether we are asking more of these cartridges than we should 🤔 Maybe I am just getting old and the brain is losing its plasticity.

We just call it 2208 here 😉

You can occasionally buy Alliant powder here in Australia, but you will have to part with a kidney to afford it. H4350 is kind of the standard in medium weight bullets for the 6.5’s that are not over bore.

And so the journey begins. Well done young fella 👍

Outstanding effort and two masters degrees even better. Written with the pride a Dad has his for his son’s achievements. You raised him well mate 👏👏👏

I was wondering whether there would be enough mass in a deer for the bullet to work properly…well that question has been well and truly answered.

103 eldx is a great bullet. Hornady are making some nice bullets right now. However they are not making bonded bullets and I do think that is a hole in their product line…just like I think Noslers 50bullet packs across its whole product line is annoying. Surely ballistic tips in all weights...

105 accubond 👍

Don’t know how I missed that pic Fotis. Nice work. Do you eat them in the States? We tend to leave them where their shot here in Australia.

So Fotis, has it seen any bush time yet?

300wsm that is a great post and solid advice. I have a friend who is new to shooting and reloading and was instantly attracted to chasing velocity and almost appeared to take it as a challenge to beat book max speeds. It scared the hell out of me for him. Reloading is a very serious business and...

With 130 grain bullets I have found that H4831 whilst really accurate is pretty slow. It maybe better with 140 class bullets. H4350 has been better and still is very accurate. The old Swede is a much underrated cartridge just quietly going about its business.

Nah skeeter, I have fluted barrels on rifles that are tack drivers. He was simply saying the more you play with barrels the more things can go wrong.
