Accubond Long Range Wish List

[BK]

I would like to see a

22 cal - 70/80 grains
243 cal - 100
257 cal 115/120
323 cal 210/220
338 cal 225/250
35 cal 225/250

Those would all be nice to haves. It'll take me awhile to work through the new ones!

Can't find much fault with this, other than maybe pushing the weight up a bit on a few... 6mm/105 and/or 115?

 

[Antelope_Sniper]

I'm pleased with the .227 and .284 offerings.

I"d like to see:
.224 60-64gr
.338 225gr.

 

[Bruce Mc]

SJB358, I like you're thinking here. A 75gr .224 could sing out of the 1 in 7 barrel on my AR. As long as its no too long.

I'd also like to see a 120gr .257. By Bob and 06 seem to shoot better with heavier bullets anyhow.

 

[clearwater]

.257 115 grain
.308 168 grain

 

[CMBTshooter]

It'd be really sweet to have a 62-77gr .224 for the .223 and a 175 gr .308 for the 308 Win. Also at this point I think I'm twelfthing the 168 gr 30 cal.

 

[Bigfoot]

110 grs for the 6.5 Grendel shooters.

 

[257 Ackley]

75-80 grain .224
105-115 grain .243
140 grain .264
200 grain .308 (190's will work for a while :lol: )
225 grain .338

 

[Rigbymauser]

.243cal. 80-85grain
.323cal 190-200grain
.375cal 260-275grain
.416cal 350-370grain

wackodream: a 250grain for .333Jeffery

 

[jason miller]

I'd like to see:

.243 in 80-85 grains
.308 in 165-168 grains
.338 in 200-210 grains

I had to think on this awhile,,,primarily because in the past I haven't found necessary to my style of hunting. But as I get older and mostly since these cancer surgeries, I'm begining to wonder if my legs will carry me like they use to. More range capability is becoming more the possibility, I can see likely.
The nomenclature "long range", screams heavy for caliber to me. I know however, there may be the normal twist to consider, for marketing scheme of thing's But am thinking myself, that under normal situation ranges, the AB will sufffice. But we are talking long range not normal, are we.
With that, it is the added mass/length, (along with design) that attributes to the high BC that we are after. With that, when going past the 4-500 yd mark, I think we are considering more than conventional equipment on average.
At least that would be my thoughts,,,,I want to use that bullet, so I will build a barrel around it,,,,has been my past philosophy for sometime now :lol:
Hopefully with all being done correctly, it should shoot as desired.

If it were me, I would keep 1 maybe 2 bullets in the conventional production gun range for that end of the market, (which most of those listed are). But make at least one for the fast twist market of things.
Such as but not limited to,,, but a 110- 115 gr, for the .243/6mm for example. I agree with a heavy weight 75-80 gr. .22 as well as many other's. Just to me,,,,this is a heavyweight game. That suits me fine, as I tend to go a bit heavy for caliber anyhow.
I can see with the advent of these bullets, I will be adding a barrel or two. Pac-Nor, here I come!

 

[sbsmith]

240 gr 358 for the Norma

 

[375ultra]

.375 350 grain

 

[gerry]

240 gr 358 for the Norma

I could live with that for my 1 in 12 twist 35 Whelen.

 

[super-7]

...220gr. 8mm for the .325/ 8mm RM...

Uh ya, that should be a given. Lol x 100

 

[TN deer hunter]

.224- 60 to 70gr
6mm- 100gr
.308- 150gr

 

[FOTIS]

.375 350 grain

That would be nice along with a 416 ANYTHING.

 

[onesonek]

While being somewhat obscure and a unlikely candidate, I thought I just as well throw a .366-300gr. in the list.

 

[Oldtrader3]

The 9.3mm (.366) anything is a good caliber but in a magnum case it would be close equaling the .375 Ouch & Ouch
