Jim, I'm going Nosler and I'm torn between the 140 gr Accubond's velocity and the 160 gr Accubonds penetration. I used the 160s in the 280 with a load from Nosler manual 1 that gives 2950 fps with the 160 gr with IMR 7828. I'm pretty excited about it. I did sell the 338 RUM to help finance the...

I'm having my 280 re-chambered to Ackley Improved and I need some brass if anybody has extra to sell. Thanks Greg

I'm re-chambering from 280 to 280 AI and I wondered if fire forming my brass is a good idea since I have mostly nickel plated. Can I fire-form from brass 280 brass?

Congrats on a fine buck with the 338 Fed. I got a mule deer buck with the 338 fed and a 160 gr TTSX at 3040fps this year. Very little damage to meat. I hit a little back of the lungs and did in the liver with a pass thru. He ran down hill about 40 yards and plowed under a bush. This was out of...

Those are some awesome bucks and just in time for the holidays. Congrats (y)

Great Nevada bull Jake. Well done man!! (y)

I just put elk #6 and deer # 1 with the 260 accubond. Congrats.

They are made here in Montana and are a quality rifle. They sell in the $1,300+ range and are worth it. I haven't seen any come back for repair and are reported to be very accurate. They are nicely stocked, well balanced and just feel good. As for the 338 fed. I just shot the mule deer of my...

Double your pleasure, double your fun. Congrats on two nice bucks.

We hunted the Missouri Breaks of Montana and picked up two elk one bull one cow and two mule deer bucks. I'll try and post the pictures. My main computer is in the shop. We hunted 9 days and I saw 3 bulls larger than the one I got. This was all on public land. I don't know how to delete the...

375 Ultramag with the 260 grain Accubond at 3080 fps has just taken elk #s 5 & 6. From 30 to 300+ yards. Pictures will follow in new post. The rifle weighs 7.5 lbs with scope and sling. Rem 700 XCR. Yes it has a muzzle break.

Yes! It's gotten to the point where I have to beg for the seconds because for some reason ( probably ammo manufacturer request for different bullet shape) I get better accuracy with the seconds. If you check my posts over the years you will see me buying red tipped accubond bullets. I shoot to...

The first reading on the universal ballistic chart is 0 yds and the -1.5 is the distance between the scope line of sight and the rifle bore which is 1.5" on average. The bullet rises to cross the scope line of sight somewhere between the muzzle and the 100 yard point, depending on trajectory of...

375 RUM 300 RUM ( I never thought I'd say this one) 30-06 (Kimber Mountain Ascent 180 gr Accubond at 3005 fps.) I've killed 4 elk with it because by day 3 of carrying the RUMs it's light weight is nice to carry so it's what I have with me the rest of the hunt.

I've been seeing Banded E-Tips mentioned at SPS. Are they a solid or is the band a cannilure?

Thanks for your help. Ill try shortening up and maybe change powders to make up for less volume. I'm using Hodgdon Superformnce now.

Scotty, what was your OAL and distance from the lands? As I posted in reloading I can't get the accuracy. Thanks Greg

Has anyone done any work with the 150 ABLR in the 270 WSM? I tried in my Tikka T3 light and it wouldn't group. I figured the magazine was too short. I tried shortening more for a sweet spot but then I lost too much case volume.

Just like you folks I've read good and bad. It makes sense that it would have to come apart quick for a long range shot to the heart/lung area. My elk won't give me dependable standing profile shots at any range. Soooo I'm trying the Accubond Long Range in my 7 RUM this year and hoping the...

I got my most accurate loads with the 200 gr. Accubonds using 87 grs. of RL 25. CI 250 Primers and an OAL of 3.6" This was in a Rem 700 with a 24" barrel. 3085 FPS. I's a hot load so start lower and see if it tightens up for you. If you have or can find RL 25.
