    Soooooo,

    Anyone got hold of the Accubond LR projectiles yet?

    Do we know if there are any in NZ even?
    Im keen to try them but was planning on a putting a 7mm barrel on to change up from 270wsm.

    But if these work maybe I should just rebarrel in 270wsm with a bit more length?

    Not in production yet other then some very limited runs of 30 cal for magazines .

    Best guess is late this year or early next before they are here in any real numbers.

    $108 for 100 isn't too bad a price. I just bought some
    7mmsaum and Bryan like this.
    If my work annoys me, I cull them

    Considering that buying 100 standard Accubonds costs $125 id say they are a pretty decent price. I'll stick with my Amaxes for a while yet, I have waaaaay too many of them to get through before I try anything new.

    IMO bit of a waste.
    Nice BCs but ABs don't open up at distance. Would have been better doing them as BTs I think, and surpassed the Amax

    They were supposed to open better than the old ones with a much lower opening speed than even the Amax suggests ... almost to good to be true

    If that's the case then great, but sounds like what I want in a high BC - BT not the AB line.
    Time will tell I spose

    I would love it if the 210 30 cal is what they say it is BC and opening speed wise.... its almost unbelievable with a .730BC and a low opening speed of almost in the subsonic range ....
