What is the mossy oak slogan, “its not a passion, its an obsession� I can relate. Starting about February of each year I start mentioning to my friends and family, “Its only 8 months till bow season. Each year I decide beforehand which calibers and rifles that I am going to use that season and develop a different load for each particular rifle that is different from previous years. I had been shooting 175 gr sierras in my 7 stw. Last year I decided to try some 140 grain accubonds.
Here are some different examples. Each of the four groups were shot at Pearland shooting clug off a bench and rest on Dec.23. It was sunny, +/ 10 mph breeze, and 45 degrees F. Distance-100 yds.
I had some ballistic tips loaded in 150 grains so I shot one group. I wanted to try accubonds on game so three of the four groups were accubonds. I've settled on 75 grains of Rl-22, federal 215m primers, 140 gr accubonds, oal@ 3.650" as my go to load for the present. Next I am going to try some 168 grain berger VLD's. I have one place I can make a 600 yd shot and another an 800 yd shot. I'm gonnna set up for hogs. At that distance if they aren't DRT it doesn't matter as the land owner wants every hog we see shot.
