I agree, the profile on that accubond combined with the bonding make it an absolute killer out of the 300wm and up. It goes very well out of my 300RUM.

Thought I would put up a couple of pics of some bullet cross sections for you all. The first picture is a 30 cal 200 grain accubond and a 30 cal 165 sierra tipped gameking. I was very impressed with the jacket thickness of the TGK but would want some velocity to make it work I suspect. The...

It’s a good looking little cartridge that. Think it is my favourite of all the Creedmores. That 128eldx would also make a fine goat and fallow deer bullet.

Great shooting. What a top little scrub gun

So far my boys and and I have shot pigs, wild dogs, red deer and fallow with a 223, 6.5x55, 7mm08 and 7mmRM, 308. Rifles that should get a run but for one reason or another haven’t, 260, 280ai and the 30/30 in the tighter bush.

Sporting clays at my end. Closest thing to field shooting I can get.

I share your pain. I used to use RL19 & 22 but you can’t get that anymore. RL26 I never got the chance to play with. It is H or AR powders as we know them here or nothing. Crazy times that still haven’t improved. At least we can buy primers now

As Shrek would say, that’ll do donkey, that’ll do. Great shooting and that is a load that will put meat on the table every day of the week. The only problem is now when you miss, you can’t blame the rifle 😉

I find myself regularly playing this game as I think about what’s in the safe. If it was a calibre gap, it would be something quarter bore. My issue is I have safe queens that very rarely get shot and very rarely hunted with. I have a few go to rifles that almost always come into the bush. It’s...

A great read thank you. I imagine this will be relived around many future campfires. Tough hunting conditions and would have been very easy to not persevere. Well done

Is the barrel free floating?

It seems to be an American debate. The whelen really doesn’t mean too much this side of the lake. The 9.3x62 would be more common with factory loads and good quality brass available. By saying more common, it is still relatively obscure compared to a whole bunch of other cartridges that do...

Me too, kissed me on the bridge of the nose and bled like a bitch. Very embarrassing at the range 😂😂😂

Those 139 interlocks seem to be made for the 7mm08 and accuracy. There is something about them that just plain works.

Same. Works really well.

42.5 grains and varget with that bullet was my sweet spot. Looking very promising.

I have that same scope on my 7mm08 too. That firedot is great in low light conditions. Varget has been my go to powder with the 7mm08 and 140 class bullets. You should be able to get 2,800fps easily with that combo. If I’d owned that cartridge earlier, there would probably be a few less rifles...

All I need on the back of that news is for the Aussie Dollar to go up and things will be even better 🍻
