Bullet Worthy of a Once-in-a -Lifetime Trophy?

Don't know how many it take to be concidered a EVERY TIME BULLET, but for me the 150scirocco's have been great out of my sendero7rum. Score Scirocco 22 Deer 0

maybe the Deer can score in the secound half and make a game out of it........... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

OK, does someone want to offer any potentially accurate loads for the 180 gr Accubonds out of the 308 with either Varget or RE15 (preferrably RE15). Since I always start low and work up carefully, I would also like help with starting loads and book recommended max loads for this combination, as I don't want to buy the Nosler reloading manual until/unless they include data for the 338 Lapua.

I imagine someone will suggest that I should have gotten the 150 gr or 165 gr Accubonds instead of the 180's. My reasons are: my rifle typically preferrs the heavier bullets, I prefer the higher ballistic coefficient, and I would like to try them in the wife's '06 also. I'm still not sure if time will permit a complete work-up of the Accubond load, but we'll see.

Or maybe I'll end up bagging one during the archery season... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]..

Thanks for the input and advice.

If this is a factory rifle, try 41 to 43.5 grains in 0.5 grain increments. You will find a good load there at top speed.

No need to go with the 150 or 165 AB, the 180 will do well. I am glad to see you are concidering a more concistent bullet well suited for that once in a lifetime buck. He deserves no less.

My Nosler #3 shows Re15-42.5grs max for 2640fps 24"bbl.
