I haven't given up on the 300s but I need to do some test on expansion at long range. I like the way they shoot and they hold energy crazy far down range. I'm going to set up water jugs and wood at 900 yds. and see what they do.

Accubonds are here to stay in my loads but I too wish for 338 Acubond long range bullets in heavy for caliber weights. In fact I wish for some of the current ABLR bullets to be available somewhere. I guess they must be loading a lot of ammo with them. I would like to try some 210 gr. ABLR in my...

Just signed up again after a couple of years of moving around. I'm trying to get into the long range hunting with my Ultra Mags and I found the Nosler Accubonds are good out to 5 or 600 yds but I want to go to a thousand. Are Berger the best?
