[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 244106, member: 10755"] kraky1, You may very well be correct regarding the 200gr Accubonds, I have only just started playing with them. They're a very long bullet, which can raise pressures alarmingly, but i'm yet to do any extensive testing with them. I do not have a copy of Hogdons manual, and I am only able to comment on the 180gr Accubonds at this time. Also the Ballistic Tips show higher pressures with the same powder charges as the Accubonds do. As you well know, each firearm is an animal all unto itself, my results could have been completely the opposite in another rifle. The above examples that Stan Watson gave could also turn out differently in a different barrel with a smoother or rougher bore. Maybe I should have not mentioned my findings, as every rifle would turn up different results. I do not believe that Nosler bullets are magical in any way, but I do believe thay are economical in terms of powder usage and velocity. My Kimber has 4 grooves rather than the more common 6 grooves that my Senedero has, and this rifle always shows higher pressures before the Kimber does, so maybe it's a rifle thing and not a bullet thing? Your discussions are always welcomed. Cheers. MagnumManiac. gun) [/QUOTE]
