[QUOTE="bookworm, post: 342571, member: 13840"] Thanks fellas! The Accubond was near the top of my list to try due to reputation, BC, and price. Thanks for confirming that this is a good option to give a try. I notice you guys are using the 200gr AB. Is that strictly to get the higher BC, or are there other advantages (like grouping accuracy)? I'm leaning toward the 180gr because I'll be using this round for deer as well as elk (primarily elk, though). I know I give up a bit of BC with the 180gr...but anything else? One question on the powder...how are the Alliant powders on temp sensitivity? I've been considering only the Hodgdon Extreme powders because I'll be shooting in a pretty wide range of temps through the year. Since H1000 is a fairly slow powder, maybe trying a bit faster powder like 4350 or 4381 might be a good next step to see if my rifle likes the faster powders more. Does that sound reasonable? Thanks again for the insight. [/QUOTE]
