7mm Wby & 140 Accubonds

[Reloder28]

My first trip to the range after a new barrel purchase for my Encore in 7mm Wby yielded the following results:

7mm Wby Norma case
CCI 250
70gr RL22
24" barrel

Shot # 1 & 2 Same hole. Exactly 2" hi and dead center.
Shot #3 Group size 7/16"
Velocity 3025 fps
Sighted 2" high @ 100 yds.

After Whitetail season I'll jack the powder up to about 74 gr's. I could not have asked for any more.

 

[700 bdl]

I'm using the 140 gr. AccuBond in my rifle too. So far it's the best shooting bullet I've tried. Ragged hole groups.
