[QUOTE="Brent, post: 28592, member: 99"] Rick, The load we've been shooting between .5 and .7 moa is 90gr Retumbo, 215M, 3.66" OAL with FL sized Rem brass. The MV is 3015 ave on mine, 3030 fps on his. Not a smokin load, but accuracy is as good as I can expect and consistant, much more important than the last 100 fps in my book. Now, one of you guys shoot a big Elk or Moose at long range so we can see how they hold up out there, God knows it was too easy for us this year, and my kids won't be tagging one beyond a couple hundred yards either. My wife hasn't put enough trigger time in this year to even mention, so she is limiting herself to close range too. Ian, That polymer tip must advance expansion faster than the HP MK does and be just enough to keep it from penitrating the steel. We all know what bullet to use when the animals wise up and start wearing steel armor. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Guess us guys using the Accubond with either have to switch to MK's or limit our range and take head shots. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] So far, I'm pretty impressed with the bullet, but really, it's behavior should be fairly predictable. Always nice to see it confirmed tho.
