    Anyone using Accubond LR's??

    I know the claimed BC's on these pills are an exaggeration but has anyone had much luck with these??

    They are just the dux nutz on animals i shoot alot of animals with them.. 10m-450m and just perform well. They always open up and they they never explode.. they seem to throw a few flyers when pushed hard.. ie over 3100 fps. Not sure why, only explanation i can come up with is the tips are melting so definitely not for the super magnums... i cant get them to shoot dimes but i can keep them under an inch just... same results with 7mm and 6.5mm...
    Love the 129 in my 6.5 doing 3080fps... just eats deer..

    If you load some up for me they like a 10 thou jump and a milder rather than warm end of a load from experience.

    yep, run the 150 gn 7mm's in my 7mm08 as a long range pill. Work very well so far. I used the Litz bc data rather the ones Nosler put out.
    As usual Nosler's BC's are overstated by 3 - 8%. In the case of the 150 7mm LRAb it was about 7% out (high).

    I used 150grn in 270wsm. At 3.2k they were great. Grouped well and good killers. Only complaint was that not many passed through, which is what I would prefer.
