[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 29170, member: 1403"] I bought a box of the 200g Accubonds the other day and tested 3 loads. I used H-1000, Fed 215's, Rem Cases, and different OAL's for each charge/load. Here was the results. 90g H-1000, 3.620" 3001 fps 3019 fps 3031 fps 3 inch group at 100 yards 92g H-1000, 3.640" 3096 fps 3090 fps 3127 fps .6" at 100 yards, 2 shots were basically 1 hole going under .25" with the 3rd shot, 3127fps being a bit of a flyer 94g H-1000, 3.660" 3155 fps 3144 fps 3171 fps 1.5" at 100 yards It looks like 92g is by far the best for accuracy, but is not as fast as I would like the 200g to be going accurately. 3100fps isn't bad, but I am looking more at 3200fps and good groups. Maybe H-1000 just wont do it. Is there anybody using the 200g Accubond at 3200fps and getting .5-.75" groups? I was thinking of using Retumbo or RL-25. I am wanting to throw a quick elk load together with the 200g Accubond because I am having second thoughts about using the 200g SMK on elk. The recovered bullet from the bear I shot at 250 yards weighed a mere 20 grains and about all that was left was the base of the bullet. Thanks for any replys. [/QUOTE]
