    Testing 90 gr AB and the 85 gr Partition

    Here's the AB after passing through 4 1 gallon jugs of water. Found it inside the 5th jug. Range was 40 yards. Think this should work out to 400.

    25-06 Load Development

    One of mine loves/loved the 120 gr Speer BTSP with IMR 4831 behind it. Shot itty-bitty bugholes with that load. Switched over to 110 AB's (which are as rare as Unicorns) and one liked RL-19 and the other liked H4831 in a medium speed load. Now playing with some RL23 and RL 26 just to see what...

    RL 26 - What have you tried it in? Results? And

    I actually found both RL 26 and RL 23 in a local shop last week! I've loaded up some 26 to try in my 25-06. We'll see how it does.

    RL 26 - What have you tried it in? Results? And

    where did you find some to try out? I'm thinking of this in a couple or three rifles I have - 25-06, 243, 264 WM and whatever else I can put it in. Saw the thread on the 280AI luck folks are having, just wondering what else has been tried?

    Wonder if....?

    They'll ever make any 257 110 AB's again? Or, have they been discontinued? Time to check out something else I guess.

    I need a coyote load for my .243

    90 AB's or 85 Partitions with a dose of IMR4350 should work quite well. Above @ 500 yards Below is at 400 yards.

    Testing 90 gr AB and the 85 gr Partition

    Ok, I took a few days off for Easter (and turkey hunting) and went to another friend's ranch. He'd built a range there that went out to 1500 yards! :shock: Winds were fairly light so I brought out the 243 and checked it at 300, 400 and 500. The target at 300 fell over on the 3rd shot so no...

    Another one looking for 110 gr 257 Accubonds.

    Need to get 100 or so of the 257 cal 110 AB's. Have some other things I can trade or purchase if I have to. (within reason)

    225gr Sierra Game King - 358Win

    Glad to see how that GK worked in a 358 Win! I'm in the final stages of building one on a Mk X action with a Pac-Nor 22" barrel. Topping it with an older Leica 1.75-6 scope I have. I've been scrounging up those 225 gr SGK's wherever I can find them. Just might become my go-to sub 250 yard rifle!

    Son' Birthday Rifle - Vanguard S2 243

    Just picked up my 2nd S2. This one in the 243. Easy to load for with a wide variety of powders and bullet weights. Mine prints 5 shot groups under .75" all day long. He'll enjoy it!

    243 Winchester and short barrel.....

    I have an older Model 600 with the 18.5" (I think) barrel. I load the 95 gr CTBT's with a no-name scope on it. Shoots sub-.6" groups. Load info is in the pic.

    Marlin XL/XS-7's are history

    Wonder how one of these would work as a 'donor' action for a future build?

    Testing 90 gr AB and the 85 gr Partition

    A couple of weeks ago I started the load workup on a new Weatherby Vanguard S2 243. I loads with the 85 gr partition, 90 gr Accubond, 95 gr Balistic Tip and a 100 gr Sierra GK. Though I didn't try a bunch of different powders on each, after the results I had, I'm sticking with the AB's and the...
