[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 898989, member: 30671"] Everybody will have their opinion, I think you need more bullet not more gun. Although the 300 magnums are great I still prefer more bullet. Expanding bullets penetrate less than non expanding bullets. I like the Accubonds a great deal but the advice to use a bullet weight less because they stay together is wrong. That large frontal area will penetrate less. The .308 200 Accubond works very well in the 30-06. 2600 fps is doable. Nosler recommends an 1800 fps minimum terminal velocity. This bullet has a claimed BC of .588, even if this is a little optimistic you've got a 600 yard system. The Long Range Accubonds claim 1300 fps expansion thresh hold so they will likely produce a larger frontal area sooner and grain for grain penetrate less. The 190 has a stated BC of .661 the 210 .730 Nobody has a lot of experience with these yet, and Noslers claims may be optimistic. We have until next season to figure it out a little better. I'm always up for more gun, but my advice with the 300 magnums is the same as for the 30-06 good 30 caliber bullets star at 200 and go up. There are other guys liking Bergers etc. I just have no first hand experience. Credible folks here have posted a lot of good threads, with pictures etc,. Look them up and scroll through pretty impressive, [/QUOTE]
