I will 2nd that. I was told by someone in the Nosler Ballistic's Dept. for several years that a 115gr BT wouldn't sell or stabilize in standard calibers, hows it working for ya now that it went production?
Throw out a heavy weight .257, a 1-10 should shoot it just fine. It would make an already fine caliber outstanding.
I would also like to see something in a lighter weight .308 as well as something heavier than 150grs in .277 or .284.
How about someone from Nosler tell us what we will get in 2008 because I don't think what I want has a thing to do with it. And now the E-Tip will slow any new Accubonds. I guess just tired of waiting for nothing. And Kerwhop I'm with you on the 6.5 maybe even a little lighter.

Would make an absolutely dynamite antelope, mule deer or whitetail round for almost any 7mm gun out there. Actually, take the almost out of it - this bullet would rock for any 7mm out there. I currently use 140 gr Accubonds loaded pretty hot out of my 7-08 and 7wsm. It is really overkill for Mid-Missouri whitetail deer hunting.
I'm with Bludog,130Gr. .284 in the AccuBond or the new Etip,or both.It would be THE deer bullet in .284Win,.280Rem. and .280AI,not to mention the 7-08 and others! Monashee
I am building a 6mm/06 with 30 degree shoulder for me and the wife to use antelope hunting in New Mexico.
I would love for Nosler to offer an 85 to 105 grain AccuBond.
Whatever weight they deem most balanced for production needs and public demand would suit me to the letter.
With all the 243 owners and youth hunter out there, the need for a super accurate 6mm pill should be very succesful.
