This is my question. I purchased a brand new Bar Safary in 300win. mag
with boss for moose and I want to make a load with the 180 AccuBond. I currently have the number 4 reloading book and theres no reference to the AccuBond loads. Can I use the same specs as the 180 balistic tip or are
they two different bullets all together??

Data for the ballistic tip in your manual should work for the AccuBond just be sure to start low and work up.

I have the 5th and it also does not reference the AccuBond.
The BC of the BT's are listed the same.

First off welcome buddy!

Glad you can make it here. I think you will like it.

As far as your question goes - you have recieved a correct response. just subtitute 180 Ballistic tip or even Partition data for your Accubonds. As usual drop a few grains and work up. You will be fine. There is a new Manual coming from Nosler in Spring of 2007 I believe. :wink:

Thanks Pop!!
You're right cause I'm liking this forum already. When you say to start low and work my way up. How low should I start? Should I go let say 5 grains lower than the sujgested max and then work my way up?

Generally, Canuck, start low means about 10%. I say about, because you might want to start 9-12% low and work up one grain at a time, if 2% is about 1gr. That's usually what I do. Either way, you can do the calculations and start 10% low exactly if you want, I just like round numbers, pardon the pun.
