    Don't think I've ever had an Accubond load shoot overly well. Good to see this trend continuing. Lol.

    I agree the accubond wasn't great for me either, VLD's shoot better.
    Keen to try the new Hornady ELD's when they eventually arrive.........

    The 130gr Nosler AB shot superbly well in my .260. I thought they were a little hard and didn't leave too much of a wound track on deer but everything I shot with them died.

    I am not a 260, 55 or creedmore owner but they do interest me. I keep wondering when I read about load development for these cals if any of you have tried a 6.5 x 57 AI ? Just that wee bit more capacity without getting up to a 284 case. Although it does need a med length action. Would probably send you 140's out at 3000fps

    So I Googled the 6.5 Saum, looks like all things to all people. Albeit a bit tough on barrels. Very handy chambering indeed
