160 Accubond at 1,750 fps impact velocity

[SJB358]

That's really impressive. I'm not sure where 1750 is from the MSM started at 3200 but I guarantee its further than I plan on pressing the trigger.

From my 280AI, the 160 gr AB with a 2990 fps MV is going 1756 fps at 775 yards.

HA!! Yeah, that might as well be another county for me! :lol:

Those will expand a long ways out when fired at around 3000 fps, a lot farther than I'm going to shoot!

Do you have any E-tips to test at that velocity Lynn?

Lynn & Jake I have pictures of 90 gr. E-tips started 3140 fps in a 6mm Remington. I have pictures of bullets caught at 25-100-300-400 yards. If you look at the expansion from the top of the bullet down you can see that it still opened nicely. From the Nosler #7 book if that bullet was started at 3100 fps, at 400 yards it would still be going 2226 fps. It's not down in the really low range that you had hoped for but maybe this will give you an idea on expansion at the slower speeds.
