Long range Accubonds

[Fassteel]

For you reloaders looking for these bullets P&D got some in 175gr 7mm and 210gr 308, 100 in a box, $77 for the 7mm and $86 for the 308. 100 bullets in a box. FS

Whoa! These LRAB are scary! I have some of these in 168 gr. 7mm that I was doing the numbers for. A 175 gr. 7mm would be pushing .700 G1 B.C.? Run the numbers for launching from something as benign as a 7x57 at 2400 fps. Nosler says these need 1,300 fps to adequately expand - that is what, 700 yardish with a 7x57? Amazing!

are they a hunting bullet the same as the regular Accubond? they are cheaper too.

Apparently they have a much better BC and expand much easier. I have heard they suck up close as they blow up really bad.

The whole idea of a true long range hunting bullet is to blow up real bad. It's a way of getting fast kills and large wound channel after velocities have dropped to the point that conventional bullets don't work so well anymore. The LR Accubond strives to keep a little bit of the bullet intact in case a short shot is taken. Sort of like a Partition, a varmint bullet with a plan B.

I just bought 2 boxes of .308" .730 BC 210gr ABLR this last weekend at the gun show in Chilliwack, B.C. cost was $84.00 each taxes in.

Plan on loading them in my 26" barreled 300RUM for longer range 600+ yard hunting figure I can easily push them to 3150fps.

I have been loading .588 BC 200gr Accubonds @ 3200fps but have been disappointed in the drop/wind drift at longer distances I am getting compared to what my ballistic charts were saying I should be getting.

If I can't find a load I'll load them in my 30-06 rifles.

While they are saying that these bullets will expand down to 1300fps a more realistic velocity is 1500fps.
