Accubond question

[deputy338]

Has anyone here loaded accubonds for the 6.5 cm? If howvwere the results on both paper and game?

Not for the 6.5 CM, but in a 30-06 and my son's 300 WSM. They shoot great and have really worked well on elk and deer. Fantastic bullet!

Accubonds work no matter what you load them in. mtmuley

Great bullet with good accuracy in my 300WSM..But never owned a 6.5.

I shoot the 110s' in my 257, 140's in my 270 and 180's in my 300 WSM and am really pleased with all of them. They shoot great and I haven't exactly had to do any tracking or follow up shots on anything from antelope to elk in the last 6-7 years.

Now I'm not shooting extreme yardages with any of those loads, but a few shots in the 400-450 range and most in the 300 and under category. If you can dial up a load that your rifle likes I would give them a try.

I shoot 130s out of my 260 (basically the 6.5CMs twin). I have killed near and elk with it, no problem.

This is what my Remington 700 6.5 creed does for a 3 shot group at 100 yards with the 130 accubonds over Reloder 17...so far. Haven't shot anything with them yet though

Looks like you really pulled one of those. Back to the range and shoot 20 more!

I shot the 129 ablr's out of my 260, only shot deer but great performance and BC is awesome. Shots .5moa or as good as I am capable of shooting. I shot a bunch of accubond in various calibers and they simply always work!

For you guys that reload accubonds how far are you seating these. I have a 260,25/06, 2 7mm rem mags and a 338 and cannot get any of them to shoot accubond bullets accurately.

Well what's your maximum C.O.A.L. for each one of these rifles? There are a ton of variables that effect how seating depth. There's not a 'one size fits all.'

Odd that 5 different rifles won't shoot Accubonds. mtmuley

I find that a bit odd, also. Actually, my 7 mag shoots Hornady Interlocks a bit better, but splitting hairs really. I would say there are other issues with the loads.

What other bullets have you gotten to shoot better? Out of that many rifles, I would think that most would punch them very accurately. I, personally, seat all of my bullets just over book recommendations-depending on magazine room.

I had accuracy issues with 140 AB with a 7-08 Montana. Really wanted to use em. In fairness I switched to 140 TTSX after 2 or 3 recipes due to the AB's being scarce at the time. One factor, IMO, is the Montana's blind magazine's COAL limitation.
