Just some thoughts in response to the OP's responses to other posts... As with any bullet (or ammo), you must try it in your rifle (firearm) to determine if it will be accurate or not. Never a guarantee of a rifle performing well with the bullet(s) we would like to use. This is why we have the...

While I have shot them in a few rifles, I have not taken game with them personally. Just have better accuracy in most of my rifles with AccuBonds. So far, it has proven to be the most accurate factory ammo tried in my LH Steyr Mannlicher Model M FS SE 6.5x55, producing .608" groups at 100 yards...

3 legged hunting; I like it! How many could pull that off! :LOL:

Hoping your replacement goes well! And that you are in great shape for your safari come May! :cool: My aunt here in Canada has had both knees replaced. First one went great and the second, went poorly, requiring a second replacement this summer. Still not great, but better than the first one...

You gotta go! It will be worth every penny! They can be difficult to find, and get a shot at, but that is all part of the hunting adventure on these elusive and majestic animals. And I can say first hand that while I thoroughly enjoy watching hunts for these on tv and Youtube, I much prefer the...

Yep! Yep! and Yep!

I am curious ass to the effects on accuracy with the hollow base? I have the Marlin 1894 Trapper in 10MM with a 16.1" barrel.

Very nice!

WIsh you the best hunt and memorable adventure! Keep shooting good groups!!! Cool that you'll be using the No.1s! = Classy! I'd say your A-Frame load is minute of Buffalo! :cool: Not sure yet when I'll be going back for my eland...looking at possibly going to the Limpopo and adding the...

Looks like you are ready to hunt! Tell your PH to tell the skinners to sharpen their knives! 😄 When is your hunt planned for again?

If the 358 is meant for the 35 Rem, why the boattail? That cartridge will rarely, if ever be used out past 300 yards...or is it to make seating easier? I am not sure at first glance that it would even have sufficient velocity in the 358 Win for reliable expansion, for use at that range, unless...

He'll be smiling for weeks to come! Not to mention everytime he looks at that mounted on the wall, reliving the memory of that adrenaline rush. I have long said that there is no other thing that gets the blood pumping quite like a bull elk bugling at you within a stones throw, that you can enjoy...

Nice. With that twist rate you should be good up to the 131 gr bullets, should you decide to go heavier than 120 gr. 1:7 is recommended for the 133-138 gr bullets. While you may want to shoot longer distances, the higher BCs will help flatten trajectories at the longer distances. The other...

My QuickLoad version does not include data for the Superformance powder. (And it is a powder that I haven't tried yet to date.) I have been researching the 257 AI Improved (or AII) of late after learning that Hornady may commercialize it with fast twist barrels, for a potential build next year...

With my Leica RF binos, I range almost every animal, whether I am going to be shooting, or someone else is, or not. Helps me with range estimation...habit that carries over from my archery competition and hunting. So luckily, I am not carrying extra gear, as I used to when the first rangefinders...

Nice! Gotta love it when a plan comes together! :cool: Should be some tasty eating there. Love hearing about successful hunting stories with the 25 CM as my rifle is being rebarreled to this cartridge. Just learned about Dirt Nap's 25 CM ammo with the 110 gr AccuBond, that is spec'd for...

Glad to of assistance! What retained energy will you have at 300/350 yards for the 80 grainer? Always thought a XP-100 in 250 Savage would be cool! (I didn't run the numbers through a ballistics calculator for the velocities for 100-115 gr bullets listed above...yet. Although I did also look...

Yes, sad to see the bean counters effect on businesses! Customer service goes out the window, and it's all about the profit margins! And they have that "It's not personal, it's just business attitude".:poop: What they forget is that customer service is personal! Real people assisting real...

After running those numbers, I also had to look at them for the 115 gr BT... Might have to try them in the wife's #1! Would rival the AI versions expectations, with the 100 gr bullets. But even the 115 gr @ 2973 with a max load of Re-17 is getting pretty close to the velocities you would expect...

The nice thing with the AccuBonds is how easy they seem to find good loads for, and they are usually very accurate. And on-game performance has been great!
