[QUOTE="bbutturff, post: 665719, member: 31436"] A max load of RL 17 with the 180 Accubond should be around 66.0 gr for about 2950 FPS. Using CCI 250 primers and Federal brass I was able to get .75" 3-shot groups. However, 67.5 gr gave me 3030 FPS while maintaining the .75" 3-shot group and I didn't see any pressure signs in MY RIFLE (Tikka T-3). You must always work up loads in YOUR RIFLE. The 180 Accubond is a great bullet. I took a cow elk at 300 yards with one in 2009. Good luck, Bruce [/QUOTE]
