BigBulletRe: Accubond, Interbond
nash22,
They both shot very well in my 7x57. Under 1" groups and excellent velocity. With the Accubonds I use the 160 grain bullets and the Interbonds the 154 grainers. H414 is the powder I have been using. The Interbonds achieved slightly higher velocities, but that was expected.

SkibumI just picked up a box of 160 gr. Accubonds for mine but haven't yet loaded any. What kind of performance are you getting BigBullet?

BigBulletSkibum,
I shoot the 160 grain Accubonds over a max charge of H414. Start at 46 grs and work your way up. I get .5 - .75" 3 shot goups and 2725 fps out my rifle(with a newer model rifle, you may be able to get more). A '96 Mauser with a 24" Pac-Nor barrel. Very happy with the combo. I had wanted to take this plains game hunting this past May, but was having some safety lever problems so left it home. Now that it is repaired, I am interested to see how this works on game.
Good Luck,
BigBullet
