[QUOTE="Duff, post: 35241, member: 2397"] I've been working with some 200gr. Accubonds in my .300 win mag and have narrowed it down to 2 loads and needs some imput from you all. (fwiw- the rifle is a M 70 with 26" factory barrel with answer brake, bedded in a Boyds JRS stock, Burris 4.5-14 FFII on top.) Anyway, I'm using Reloader 22 with these 200gr. AB's. I had great accuracy with H-4831sc, but velocity wasn't there. With 72gr. R-22 I'm getting 2880 fps (average of 3 shots) and 1/2 to 3/4 inch groups. With 74gr. of R-22 I'm getting right at 3000 fps and groups hovering right around the 1 to 1 1/4 inch mark. I'm pretty sure that this is a max load, judging by the manuels and the velocity I'm getting. No really pressure signs, but I haven't loaded the cases more then twice with this load (neck sizing). Which would you use if you were using this for deer/elk under 400 yards? If I were shooting chucks, I'd take the accuracy any day, but 120 fps is nothing to sneeze at either?
