[QUOTE="Badgerclaw, post: 1976350, member: 101780"] Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but the accubond long range is a very finicky bullet. I have a couple rifles that will shoot sub 1/4 Moa with multiple different bullets that will not shoot the accubond long range bullets under 2 inches at 100yrds. On the other hand, some rifles love them. It's a very long bullet with very little bearing surface (not a lot of the bullet touches the barrel). Try some regular accubonds (lots of bearing surface), eld-m, seirra game kings or game changers, federal tlr, SST's or the barnes of your choice. Let the rifle tell you what it likes. I used to get so frustrated trying to figure out what was wrong when my rifle wouldn't shoot a particular bullet. Some barrel's, twist rate, throat/ free bore combinations just don't like certain bullets. Look up some weatherby chamber reamer drawings and you'll see they are quite different in the throat area than other cartridges. I did notice the 6.5-300wby uses a short, steep lead angle throat like many other modern day cartridges. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
