Yes, they are light for the WSM. But in a 6# Tikka T3 they still have a good bump..

I shot a fat doe with one two years ago. Shot her behind the last rib on the left and it exited thru the front of the right front shoulder. I was surprised when she ran 60+ yards and I had to track her. She left plenty of blood to track. I thought they might be too tough for thin skinned game...

I am working on a lower velocity load for my girlfriend to shoot in a 270 WSM. I shot one of the lowest charge weights into the jugs today and caught it inside the fifth jug. The velocity is right at 2700 and it weighed 93.6 after. 66.9% weight retention. Boringly beautiful as all accubonds...

My 2506 Ackley pushes the 100 grain scirocco at a little over 3400 out of a 28" Shilen barrel. I found this one in the bottom of the fifth jug. It was shot at approx. 20 yards. It weighed 73.3 grains and retained 73.3% of its original weight. Brutal test and it held up well.

This is the load I hunted with last year. It seems to work well for whitetails. I would lean towards a more solid bullet if I was hunting larger game like Elk. 2650 fps, shot at approx. 20 yards. Fully penetrated 4 jugs and dented the fifth. Weighed 139.3 after. 69.7% retained weight. I...

Quickload predicted this loads velocity at 2850fps. I shot the jugs at about 20 yards. It fully penetrated 5 jugs and poked a hole in the 6th and was found on the table. It weighed 220 before and 148.5 grains after. Trevor, it looks just like yours but a jug less penetration. 67.5% weight...

Scotty, that's about as inside out as I have seen an accubond.. and it still looks like it will get the job done.

Can't ask for any more than that!

Here is one last picture. It is the .277 BSB from the jugs next to a .257 and .284 Accubond both pulled from large hogs.. I don't see how looking like an accubond could be a bad thing!

I purchased a new 270 WSM for my girlfriend. In an effort to keep the recoil low, I picked up some 90 grain BSB's made for the 6.8mm. I had a few 90 grain sierra HP's laying around from shooting prairie dogs back in the late 80's. I bought 20 pieces of new Norma brass and loaded 10 with the...

I had a similar problem several years back, brought on by the same scenario. I pierced a primer one evening. The following afternoon I tried to shoot a coyote and had a misfire. I figured bad primer. then as dark approached, the remaining two rounds in my gun also failed to discharge on a fat...

Two different people ran QL for me on a Tikka 7Mag that I have and it was never close. I always complained that it was slow as I never saw the velocities that the manuals or QL predicted. During a phone conversation with Scotty, he talked me into measuring my case capacity. We found that MY...

I have seen several fawns in the last 10 days and a single spike.

I've recovered a handful of SST's, but they have always come "unglued".. they have never looked great like that one. I do use the 139's instead of the 162's. I bought the 139's for the 7RM, but have decided they are better suited for my daughters 7-08. I have found them to be catastrophic on...

Is that the new 6mm accubond? How far did you shoot it for the test? That accubond is just plain sexy.......as always.

from a 28" barreled 25-06 Ackley. The scirrocco was 3400 at the muzzle. The AB's were hotter.

Scotty, Its hard to find a test subject that can hold on to the bonded .257's.. Takes a pretty good sized pig and a front shoulder bone or two usually.. One of the accubonds was donated by a coyote who didn't want it anymore. Stem to stern and cross body. shot in right front shoulder, recovered...

Here are a couple of the recovered bullets I have. 100grain scirroccoII and a pair of 110 Accubonds. The scirrocco is somewhat deceiving. While the AB's look better, the scirrocco actually retained more % of weight. One accubond was 65 and one 68 grains. the scirrocco was 66.

Ditto and a .257 120gr AB L/D
