Since the #6 manual is on back log everywhere does anyone have any current info for this cartridge using 110 grain Accubonds, they would be willing to share?

Your velocities should be close to .25-06. Now I am no loading expert, so I'll provide my $.002 and take it how you will, just be very careful.

I shoot the 110gr AccuBond in front of 54gr of RL22 using Federal Cases and CCI Benchrest Primers for my .25-06. I get a velocity of 3,150+- FPS. I have no signs of pressure or any problems. This groups just under an inch at 100 yards.

What I did was back off of the load I was using for the 115gr Partition and started working up. I ended up with the exact same load as the 115gr Partition.

What I am saying is... If you shoot 115gr bullets, you are probably going to be pretty close. Just be careful.
 
Less case capacity in the 257Ackley so don't start with 25/06 loads. Start with the upper end of 257Roberts loads and work up from there.Rick.
 
I called Nosler and asked them what to use for loading data for my .257 Rob. with 110AB. I was told to use the data specified for the 115 BT.
 
43.5 grains of W-760 produced an average 5 shot string of 2,918 FPS with a SD of 9 and ES of 24. At 8X it groups inside 1/2" Now I hear W-760 is temperature sensitive and hard to ignite in cold temps.

And just when it was shooting so well.
