Scott,
After reading your initial posting of test results my interest was peaked. I have recently had some concerns about my Roberts and 25/06 results with Sierra 100gr and Red Deer culs.
I did my usual load development with 100gr NBT and 110gr Accubonds in both rifles. I was amazed! Neither rifle liked the NBT's nearly as well as they liked the Accubonds with any of the powders I used. The following are where I landed:
257 Roberts
110gr Accubond
Once-fired Remington brass
CCI Lg rifle primer
Varget
Chronographed 2787fps

25/06
110gr Accubond
Once-fired Remington brass
CCI Lg rifle primer
IMR4831
Chronographed 3007fps
Both rifles shot equally well providing sub MOA for five shots at 100yds.
The Roberts is a Stevens 200 re-barrel.
The 25/06 is a Vanguard Synthetic(the cheap one).
Thanks for your time and effort in testing and sharing.
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!


Post the results when you do your culls with the 110 accubond. I'd love to hear about.

I shot what I have. I don't really need anymore 257 bullets but if someone wants me to test, I will. Just send me 2 or 3 bullets in an envelope and I'll test them and post the results. I just don't want to have to buy a 100 to test a bullet. PM me if you want me to test for you and I'll give you my mailing address.
