[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 845306, member: 5219"] I can personally state that I couldn't get accubonds to unravel with extreme twist and worn rifling. Two examples: I had a 1 in 7 twist 3 groove 30" 7mm rem mag that began to cause 180 VLD hunting bullets to diverge from POI. Switched to 180 VLD target and that helped for a little while. Finally had to switch to accubonds and problem solved. Was shooting 140s at 3350 from 30" barrel and it shot fine. My worn out 28" 257 Weatherby with its 1 in 10 3 groove also began to alter the 115 VLDs. Switched to 110 accubonds and the issue stopped. The accubond shoots very accurately at 3700 plus fps. I mentioned the above to illustrate that the accubond stayed together for me when the rifle was causing issues with the Bergers. IF your new LR accubonds were bonded I would think that would rule out the coming apart issue. I cannot think of any reason why this would happen. I did encounter some partitions that strayed over a foot from the POI when I worked up a load many years ago. I switched bullets. Bet that is not what you want to hear. How about weighing all bullets? Interesting and frustrating problem. Will follow this thread, perhaps someone will have the answer. [/QUOTE]
