That's a fine load there. Mine shoots small groups with the same combo.

Not a bad group. I'd try seating a little deeper and tighten up that group a tad more.
That load will keep your freezer full for the rest of your life.
Nice work!

My COL is 3.290 per reloading data… I can honestly say that this Browning A-Bolt has never not shot good… even with factory 150gr Remington Core-Lokt it was sub moa… I traded a Remington BDL for this rifle…

Good shooting!
Is that your only Browning?
They make a fine rifle. Short bolt throw..
Two things I don't like. Not made in USA and the swing away magazine. I prefer a drop floorplate.
My grandfather when he could no longer take the hammering of his 300 wby in the shoulder he got an A-bolt medallion in 257 Roberts
Whacked an inch off the stock and two inches off the bbl.
That thing is really quick to the shoulder. A nice PA woods bolt action.
Out of curiosity what was your bdl chambered in?

That will get you all the deer you want. I shot deer with this bullet some when I had a 7mmRM. 150gr BT did well also.

Great thing about that load is you can swap out the nbt for the AccuBond should you need a little more penetration.

Nosler Ballistic Tips and Accubonds have been deer and nilgai medicine in my old Sako M995 7 Mag.

I’m with ya on the drop away mag… I don’t like it at all… as far as other browning I have 4 T-Bolt but I’m sure you were referring to center fire… I just bought a Tikka T3 Light in 30-06… was seriously thinking about the X-Bolt in 30-06 but the trigger on the tikka was the deciding factor… the bdl was a 7mm Mag also… it was a great shooter too but was right hand and I’m a lefty

Yes I have all those bullets on my reloading bench… I was very pleased with the results from my 7mm-08 with the Nosler 120gr BT
I've always had great performance with partitions. Maybe not quite as accurate as some other Nosler bullets but plenty accurate enough. Their performance in my .338RUM was unmatched.

Alas I have but a very small amount of Reloder 22 on the shelf. Just enough to keep me in 257 Roberts loads for a few years.

I have 6lbs on the shelf yet for my brother 25-06 and 300 WM. That will last quite sometime for him after that he’ll have to find something else.
OP, if you haven't done it already, get yourself a trigger spring kit from MCarbo for your Browning. Really made a difference on my X-bolt. It's as good as my son's Tikka or the Timney in my Mauser. And it's only about $15.
