I have taken a couple of whitetails with the 90 gr AB out to about 275 yards. Found a good load with IMR4350 that is sub-.5" consistently from a Wby Vanguard S2 running at 3200 fps. Used it at a friends place and shot a 4-shot group about 1 3/4" wide by 1" tall at 500 yards. I've never caught...

I purchased several Leica scopes back around 2000. Used them to replace several (now) vintage VX 2 scopes from the early 80's. Was always amazed and the clarity etc. In the last two years I have replaced those 'old' Leica's with a variety of Zeiss Conquest HD's, Minox HD5's and one Sig Whiskey...

I have an old Lyman All-American scope from the 60's and a steel tube Weaver from the 70's and a Leupold from the 80's, a Burris from the late 90's, a Leica from the early 2000's and a Zeiss Conquest that's just a year old. Setting all on the same magnification, it's amazing to see the...

Fotis, that's just so you can be doubly sure! (y) :grin: :lol:

Nosler accubond in: 243 25-06 6.5x55 (LRAB) 264 Win Mag (LRAB) Ballistic Tip in: 7mm-08 30-06 308 358 Win and another 243

7977 in two25-06's 110 Accubond 3250 and 3225 in my two rifles.

For years my 'go-to' load in one rifle was 51.5 gr of IMR4831. At the time I started loading that, max for a 120 gr bullet was 53 gr. Fast forward and I had some bad experiences with the bullet I was using and started trying different one's out. The Accubond was one that interested me as there...

.1 jump in my 264 with the LRAB, 90 gr AB in the 243. In one of my 25-06's it's .11 off and the other is .5 off. I have some in 150 to try in my 308 but haven't gotten around to that yet.

Ridley, I don't know what part of California you're in, here in Tx we have pretty good swings in temps from winter to summer. For me, RL19 gave good accuracy and decent speeds at 40. These locked up the bolt at 85.

I run the ABLR in my 6.5x55 to 2800 fps. I run the same bullet in my 264 WM to 3250. I use the 90 gr AB in my 243. All three have taken game. The only bullet I recovered was the 2nd shot on my bull elk at 137 yards with the 264. What was left weighed in at 60 grains (142 original) and penetrated...

I'm another SPS addict. I have enough brass and bullets to sink a good sized ship and yet, each time I get an email or see an ad, I have to go look. I don't think I'll be running out of 264 WM brass for at least 40 years. And 6.5 and 257 and 243 and 223 and...

My Dad was raised on a homestead in Idaho for the first 10 years of his life. From him I learned to hunt for meat (haven't ever found a good recipe for antler stew yet). Dad and I hunted up until about 3 months before he passed and I'd give it all up to have one more hunt with him. I have three...

Not the 7mm flavor, but this is a 142 ABLR from my 264 WM. MV= 3250 with the magnetospeed. This bullet was taken from an elk I shot this fall at 137 yards. Bullet entered the hip after nicking a twig, passed through the pelvis, 5' or so of elk innards (technical term, ya know) and ended up...

According to family 'legend' (and I don't know the truth on it), that 94 took the last grizzly shot in Lemhi County, Idaho back in the teens/20's. Barrel is stamped "30 Win". 22" barrel. Sweet handling rifle. Guy, I always felt that a rifle should look good as well as shoot good. No reason to...

The one rifle that is/was most used is a model 94 my Grandfather got in 1906 or thereabouts. I haven't shot it that much lately but, I do need to get it out to the range just because. I usually carry either one of my 25-06's or my 6.5x55 Swede. For elk, I take the 264 WM with a Tikka T3 308 for...

I believe the original bullet weight for the 6.5x55 was in the 155-165 gr weights. Seemed to work well for it's intended purpose. With today's more improved bullets manufacturing, pretty much any of the different weights can work well for most of the thin-skinned game and definitely work for...

Sorry Hainleym, just saw your questions. Length to Ogive = 2.495 right at .1 off the lands in my barrel. Bbl length = 22" Primer = WLR

Legal in Texas as well. Used 223 and 222 as well as a 22-250 on these little whitetail.

I'm in the AB category. I'm using them in: 223 (ok, their the bonded soft points though) 243 25-06 6.5x55 & 264 WM (142 gr ABLR) 7mm-08 308 30-06 In my 358 I'm using 200 gr SGK's though. They shoot too accurately to mess with trying something different.

Developed a couple of loads that work quite well on both feral hogs and whitetail out to as far as I want to shoot them (+/- 500 yards): 85 gr partition running along at 3275 fps and the 90 gr AB running at 3225 fps. Out to 250 yards, POI is nearly the same, within 3/4" of each other. Below is...
