Remember when 260s became real popular and everyone had magic 260s that could shoot the 140 amax at 3100fps. Ah, the good old days

That’s what I was thinking.

@c-dog what magic fairy dust are you loading into it?

@R93, I used the 129gn LR accubond in my6.5x55 for a while and found them them excellent on deer, never shot a tahr with them though. Expensive too.

I have no doubt they're good on some things.
Just my personal experience. Thar die they just seem to take a while to do it.
Often resulting in needless follow up shots and cape damage.
Had 2 this past season alone that needed extra shots or had to be picked up with a helicopter.

Big difference between the LRAB and a normal Accubond, I agree the normal accubond is way too hard and doesnt open up properly at extended ranges or when its lost a bit of velocity, the LRAB however is a bloody hammer and very versatile will hold together well at close range going quick and still cause massive wound channel out far.
VLD hunting is a great projectile also, have a photo somewhere of a bull tahr I shot at 600yds with one with a 270, straight through both shoulders and left a fist sized drain hole on the exit side, very impressive

You were covered in the burnt fairy dust a year ago in Kurow RL26 carbon deposits
Sorry I never gave you a run on it, but the boy smoked them all up before I was going to offer.
