Back when they first came out. I zapped a small bear at about 10 yards with the 140 Accubonds out of my 270 Weatherby Mag at 3250 fps. I was happy with the results. It was a broadside double lung shot and the bear just rolled down the hill dead. Haven't hunted with that rifle much since then...
I posted these earlier on a different post. Pop's asked me to post them here.
Here are some pictures of last weeks deer camp in the Southern Oregon Cascades. This is the type of county we hunt in. It's big county.
Here is the buck I thumped. 280 Remington CDL, launching a 150 Nosler...
I'd load a 130 grain partition with a hot load of h4831sc and go bonk a yogi. If you like a heavier bullet go for it. Accubond or partition, it wont matter.

Here is the buck I thumped. 280 Remington CDL, launching a 150 Nosler Partition with 58 grains of H4831sc at about 2950 fps. The shot was probably about 75...
Loaded to equal pressure the 300 Win will always out preform, regardless of bullet wieght. The lighter wieght of the short mag tend to make them kick just as much as the big round. Reality is it doesn't matter. Get the one you want, not the one anyone else wants you to get. Both rounds are...
The Sendero will be a shooter. At the range last week a couple guys had matching senderos in 3win mag. They where pulling off some very nice groups with 180 grain ballistic tips and a stiff load of h4831. I have a CDL in 3Win mag, and really like it. A pound lighter than the Sendero, if you...
A couple months ago I shalacked a small cinnamin bear at about 10-15 FEET with my 270 Weatherby and the 140 grain Accubond. Yes it was a broadside shot with complete penetration. Lungs where a soup sandwich and the shoulders where not bloodshot. I was happy with the performance. Ballistic...
I have a beat up M77Mk11 270 win that shot a .358 three shot group last week with the 130 grain BT. It also shoots 130 partitions consistantly between 3/4 and a MOA, when I hunt with that rifle the partition gets the nod. A 130 Accubond would be a nice thing that I would use. Of course...
The other powder to try is h4831/h4831sc, with the sweet spot around 74-75 grains. My CDL actually does better with the h4831 than the R22, plus if temperature sensitivity matters to you the h4831 has the edge on that as well. But every rifle is different.
I had the my 260 shilen barrel chambered to fit 125 gr partitions at 2.90 and it was a great decision. I read you post at 24hr and I just have not had the same experience with that bullet. Assuming your friend is a super shot that never ever blows a shot, maybe hit hit a branch mid flight and...
I don't remember the pixel, it didn't seem the sharpest. I think John Barness wrote the article, and I'm guessing you have his home number. :grin: It looks like it would be a lot of fun, but if you got one remember that you couldn't make any excusses about the scope being off (you'ld have a...
