reloading accubonds

[tom338]

Was at the range with a 7mm rem mag today and 160 grain accubonds. This particular rifle will not shoot accubonds with a jump so made some long ones today. I found 1 load that will work, now if I will just repeat it, 0.0506 at 100 yards. Rl 22 and 60.0 grains. Am going back to the range and hopefully I will have my first rifle that shoots accubonds.

Your micrometer and eyes are better than mine!

opps one to many zeros in there 0.506. Was at the range today and NOPE. 1.25 was the best those same loads would shoot. My other 7mm rem mag I was shooting to 500 yards today 4 shot group = 0.802 I know which rifle gets to go hunting with me this year, and its not using accubonds

I can clover leaf 160's with my 7rem mag. Load is 160 accubonds, RL-19 @59.5grns., COAL 3.280. Hope this helps at all.

Thats one powder I have not tried, I may have some left to try. What barrel twist is everyone using in the 160 accubonds. My back up 7 has a 1-10 twist, might not be fast enough

I believe the 1 in 10 twist is a good versatile twist ,but anything lighter than a 180 in a .338 win mag isn't an effective use of the tool at hand.
I don't use a 4lb. hammer to drive tacks.
Ha,ha,ha.......
Think this thread is about accubond in a .338 mag. But I assume we are now talking about 160s in the 7mm REM mag now, instead.
I personally think the 1 in 10 will work fine with 160s in the 7.
