| Like I said, it is to Remingtons specs. |

| I decided that if it is just a SST, I might as well reload some BT's. Hodgdon Manual shows 43 gr. Benchmark behind a 150 BT at 2702 FPS. Good nuff' Really don't need to go much faster, the pressure is low, and in all my experiences Benchmark is extremely accurate. |

| Anyone have any experiecne with Remington Accutips? Just bought a Ruger M77 International .308 and was thinking it might do well. Is it just a glorified ballistic tip? Thanks! |

| At Bass Pro Shop today, I spoke with a Remington rep. and asked that very question. His response was vague: "There is a relationship between Hornady and Remington."
This response was after I made him feel stupid I guess. I asked if Remington was ever going to produce a LEFT handed long action in stainless, and he said that they do and have for 2-3 years now. I said, standard long action, as in 30.06? He replied, "yes." I told him they needed to update their website, catalogue, and get their personel to get with the program then because there's no mention of it. He picked up a current catalogue and looked. He was wrong.
I also asked about Nosler and Rem. not working together any longer. He responded: "They've just dissolved their relationship." Either he didn't know why or couldn't say or wouldn't.
Put in a call to a someone who only sells Hornady for reloading in his shop. He stated that the Accutip is made by Hornady but to the big Green's specs. |

The AccuTip is the Hornady SST. It is a slightly tougher customer than the Ballistic Tip
Well at least according to Hornady. I have used the NBT and SST performance is similar (very accurate and expansive wound channels).
Save some pennies and buy the red tips (SST). |
