358Win Ready - See You All Mid Oct.

[bullet]

Went to the range to day to make sure my 358Win was ready to go and here is my sight-in group. My Mississippi Thumper is ready.

This has been a real consistent rifle and cartridge.

Five shot group

Three shot group (best group fired with this rifle)

Very nice Bullet! No doubt you are anxiously waiting to pull the trigger on some venison.

What load are you taking to Az this year? The AccuBond or the Sierra? Both look like they are some awesome shooter. I bet they are going to be the ticket for bear and anything else that you come across this year. Good luck Bullet. Scotty

 

[FOTIS]

You're fortunate that the AB works so well in your short action.

Both are shooting pretty much the same. Consistently the Sierra is more accurate group after group but I get more velocity out of the AccuBond load give me 25 to 30 yards more down range ability and a little more energy. Either bullet would do just fine.

What is so unique is the fast AccuBond shots a all most the same place that he Sierra does at 100yds so I really don't have to adjust my scope if I wan to switch to the other bullet. I will go with the AccuBond.

There is plenty of room for the AccuBond both in the magazine and the chamber.

I will be using the AB in my new 338 mag :wink:

What new 338Win Mag??????????? If you got one cool. I am going to load Accubonds and Partitions in mine when I get back from my hunt!!!! I have already started but don't want to publish anything until I have finished my load work. I will be using 225gr Remington Core-Lokt factory ammo on the hunt has the back up load.

I think that is cool but answer my above question. Frankly I was disappointed when you bought the 300WSM instead of a medium bore.

 

[FOTIS]

YUP got a Savage 116 FHSS synthetic 338 win mag.

 

[375hh1973]

i dont think that rifle is nearly accurate enough for hunting....

Yeah, you might be right, maybe I need to start my load development all over again, what do you think??? :lol: Thanks 375hh1973, it will do, love your humor man. :grin:

That is a nice setup! I was going to do a build in .358 Win on a model 70 action, but you have got me thinking that I might be able to save a few bucks and get as good results. What does your rifle weigh all up?

I use TAC powder, 215 Fed mag primers and 225gr AccuBond. Start at 46grs and work up. I stopped at 50grs of TAC and it is a compressed charge.
