I have shot 6 deer with the 125BT out of my .308 Makes a mess of the vitals. Never lost a deer with it all but one went all the way through. The one that didnt hit the shoulder.

Man thats like saying anything over .30 cal is just a moose round. Open your eyes. It is legal in many states to use and that alone makes it a deer cartridge whether you think so or not. I have taken well over 15 deer with 60 grain partitions and have yet to recover a bullet... all pass...

.223 will work fine. Very accurate very deadly on deer. I have never lost a deer with a .223 ( I have freinds that lose them with a .300 win mag because they cant shoot) I use as follows: 60 gr PT 24gr IMR 4064 LC brass CCI primer seating depth 2.238 work up to this load use at own risk...

I just loaded accubonds last year because my 150gr .308 BT's were coming apart (In stone dead deer I might add) Just wanted a little less jacket and lead in my hamburger. Shot 4 deer with them last year. Killed like BT's and no jacket strewn everywhere. I love them so far. My 2 cents

I have two interesting stories. First one was a whitetail doe I shot with a .308 150gr silvertip at 35yds. Shot her in the heart and she did a completed forward somersault and landed the same direction she was going. Very unexpected. Second story....... Shot a young buck with my bow and...

Seneca Missouri. I am right in the edge of the ozark mountains. Whitetails are thick. Less thick soon.

That is a very interesting article

.223 works fine just make a good shot. Same advice for .416 cal

I have killed 50+ deer with 150gr BT's will kill every time. I have had alot come apart outa a .308 under 100yds but the deer was alway DRT. I have switched to AB, but wouldnt hesitate to load up some more BT'S

.223 and .243

I have recently purchased some new land on the backside of our existing property. It is northeast oklahoma. We have a pay hunt ranch within a few mile that has been known to have escaped hogs. The new land has tons of hog sign on it rooting tracks feces, wallows in the pond bank and mud rub...

Thanks for your reply My gun does not do well with the 70gr I will stick with the 60gr partition. I have worked up a load that shoots well and cant wait to get a chance to test it in real game. I would love to see the accubond in .22cal and 6mm That would make me smile and buy bullets.

No extraction problem at all. This is great detailed info. I am very non technical reloader I know what works and how NOT to blow myself up but tech detail eludes me.

I have reloaded since I was 16 I am 30 now. 14 years.

Thanks guys I have reloaded for years and only run across this every so often. I will try this. Thanks for your help and time.

What is the most likely cause of the bolt being hard to close with handloads. Oal is not problem. Case lenght? Not forceing bolt closed some reloads just tougher than others.

You could also use IMR 4064 starting at 49grains max53grains or You could also use IMR 4350 starting at 56 grains max60grains I like the powders because they are very available. Start all your loads below and work way up to look for signs of pressure.

I like the 95 grain balistic tip or silvertip for coyotes for sure. have taken deer with them too. 95grain partion better for deer. Both use slow powders like IMR 4064 33.5grains at 2708fps max35.5. Also IMR 4350 39.5grains at 2985fps max41.5grains. This is from Nosler reload #5. The heavy...

Thanks for the info I will be careful. Always got to have a starting point.

Does anybody know if you can use IMR 4064 in a .223rem 60 grain partition? My nosler reloader manual #5 does not have this powder listed maybe for a reason but this would be very handy if possible.
