Thread: AR2209 AccuBond LR 6.5cm

Just wondering if any one has done any reloading with AR2209 with the Nosler Accubond LR 142g using sako brass.
Just after a good load starting point. New to reloading and with projectiles and powder hard to get im trying to
get a bit closer to a good starting load if possable. Any advise would be much Appreciated.
Cheers.

The Americans seem to like 41-42 gns as a sweet spot for that combo

Sounds fairly warm considering ADI have 39.2gr as max for the 130gr Accubond

Book max is 41.5 for 142s

That adi data sounds way off for a max with 130s which is unusual?

Possibly a harder bullet, or longer bearing surface than others of similar weight.
The ADI 142 data is for a Sierra HPBT, I'm always a bit cautious where the bullet I'm using is different to the listed one. I definitely wouldn't start above 39 (ADI start load for 142 Sierra is 38.8).

The nosler data has 43gns for a max with the 130 . And 41.5 as book max for the lrab I’d start at 39

Thanks for the advice every one. Think ill start at 39 and work up to 41.5 maybe and see how they go.
