350 Rem Mag / Accubond

Seedsntrees · Mar 31, 2008

Hello,

Has anyone loaded the 225 grain AccuBond in this case?

Is it too long to work in a 673 Remington? OAL 2.800 (I think this is correct)

Thanks for any input.

Regards,

Too long to work.

This is why I always opted for a 35 Whelen.........

Yep its too long to work in the Remingtons, I'm working on trying it in the Ruger M77.

Just curious,
What would happen if you were to grind down the tip, making it into a flat point?

Well you'd shorten up the bullet, lower the BC and lighten up the bullet, what did you think would happen? :grin: :grin:
Now that I have that out of my system I's saw somewhere that a writer tested some poly tipped bullets he cut some of the tips off and shot a group and shot some complete and there was no change in accuracy.

Now that idea is well worth trying!

I'm going to order a box and give that a try.

I wonder if I can just pull the tip off?

The open sight Rem 673 is not intended to be used for 500 yard shots anyway.

I can't see why it would not work.

Thanks,

Seedsntrees,

Just to clarify, take a look at the Nosler .308 cal 180 gr Protected Point PT.
That is what I am referring to. Maybe you could make a jig to grind down the polycarbonate tip to duplicate the Protected Point PT. The jig would give you some consistency for your COL.
I think it would be best to not pull the tip, just cut, grind, sand it down.

Nosler, any consideration for a .358 cal 225 gr Protected Point AB?
