WyFLyGuyNosler Accubond load info
Anybody know where I can find some load info for these bullets? I'm loading in .270. Nosler's website has very limited data and I was hoping to find more options. Any ideas?

wrongtargetThey'll recommend using their ballistic tip data if you ask them....

StonecreekOther than the monometal bullets, most cup-and-core bullets of the same weight can use the same starting loads. If you'll note, for example, the data in the Nosler Manual is applicable to all bullet weights in a caliber(and even some weights as much as 5 grains different), without regard to whether the bullet is a partition, ballistic tip, or other. The same is true of most manuals.
The variations between individual rifles will cause as much or more variation in velocity/pressure as the difference in two bullets of the same weight in the same rifle. So, don't worry so much about using bullet-specific data as working up your load carefully and systematically with whatever bullet you are using.

djpaintlesThis worked for me in my Beretta Mato 270 Winchester, 3 shots at 200yds:
WW Cases, GM210M Federal Primers, Bersined to .0012 Runout or less.
You can try other powders mentioned for other 140gr bullets but RL-22 seems to work really well in the 270 Winchester. My Sako Finnlite 270 Win likes a grain more with 130gr TSX's.......................DJ

Wow! that is close to the 200 yard Bench rest Record...
200 yard Aggregate

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

Of course there is a huge difference between shooting 3 shot groups and shooting 10 shot groups like they did when they earned the records........................DJ

ROSCOEThat is still some great shooting with a hunting rifle. I couldn't touch it at 100 yards with anything I own. Well done!

Actually just for fun, I tried some H1000 as well as my usual powders: IMR4831, 4350, H4831, 4350, and Re19, 22. For whatever reason, the H1000 produced top velocities in this particular rifle and grouped 3 shots in 3/4". That's not bad for a hunting rifle that will be used in areas where a long shot is 300 yards.
