Accubond out of the 280 did its job

longwinters · Nov 20, 2008

Hunting in the land of the wolf and bear I was able to take a doe whitetail with my doe tag. Passed on the only buck I saw.....a spike.

But the AccuBond did a nice job, at 70 yds, with a 1 1/2" hole going in and the same going out the other side. 4 bounds and she folded.

Now I am working up 140 loads with the AccuBond out of my 7m-08 to finish the rest of the rifle season with.

And so I don't forget, all of you have a blessed Thanksgiving next week.

Great job. I have a 7mm-08 also. What was your load? Accuracy, velocity.

Thanks guys. Nothing to brag about but meat in the freezer.

Pop, I am still working on loads. This rifle will shoot about anything I load into 1.5 or so. But to break that 1" mark has been a little frustrating. Three loads, so far, will shoot under MOA Tomorrow I am trying 140 Accubonds with 48 gns of H4350, Fed primers and win brass. With the Freebore in Sako's I am loading to 2.88 oal and have no problems with the magazine length being too short. I have not had the chrony out, as it is too cold to mess with this time of year.
