[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 610180, member: 10723"] You are correct in that their web site lists 70.0 grains for the 162 Grain BTSP. I missed that and there is a reason. The Nosler partition will produce more pressure than a cup and core bullet like the Hornady BTSP, so most manuals will give a smaller charge for it. It is because of the partition more than the flat base according to my understanding. As stated I have used 70-72 grains without pressure signs in my Ruger shooting the 160 grain Accubond. My max was 72.0 grains and this load gave me 3025 ft/sec..I know what you mean when you say that the discrepancy in data is sometime puzzling. The Accubond is built more like the cup and core bullet but because it is bonded it acts more like the partition when it come to shooting animals. If you work up slowly and watch for pressure signs you should not have trouble with increasing your charge above the 69.5 grains that you are now using. [/QUOTE]
