180 gr Accubond load for .308 win.

[4ked horn]

Hi Nosler forum members. I found this site from a link posted over on Long range hunting .com and thought I would ask a question.

I have decided to use a 180 grain AccuBond for a possible spring bear hunt.

These are the powders I have on hand right now:
H-335 (my favorite)
H-414
Varget
BL-C2

(Yes I'm a Hodgdon fan.)

Can someone help me out by suggesting which powder might give me my best velocity and accuracy with this bullet being shot out of a Rem Varmint Laminated Stock (Rem VLS). I have a hunch it's going to be the Varget but I would like a start and max load for maybe two of these powders.

I'm looking forward to a 168(165) gr AccuBond in .30 cal as well.

Thanks.

Helloooooooooo. Is anyone here?

Yoooo hoooooo.


Anyone? :?

Any .308 shooters using 180 Accubonds and ANY powder?

I know you are out there.

Sorry it took awhile, work is getting more and more busy around here. Give the guys at customer service a call. 1 (800) 285-3701. They should be able to give you a few loads with the powders you listed.

Thanks for your reply. I will give them a call. The bear hunt fell through but that just means that I have a year to work on a load now.

Thanks again.

While I'm thinking of it I wouldn't mind seeing a 100/105 grain AccuBond in .243 as well as the 165/168 (175 maybe with a cranked up BC near .500 8) ) grain in .30 cal.

Hey Horn, 45 gns of W748 works good, about 2600fps out of my 24" barrel

...and 46gns of Varget should do about the same!

Retract that last statement, Make that 45gns of Varget (compressed charge) Maximum!

As for H335, about 41gns, Blc2 about 45.5! both around 2600fps, and each Max load!
