[QUOTE="AKdan, post: 1136545, member: 83800"] I am shooing the 300gr accubond out of a 338 Lapua. It has a 28" benchmark barrel. I am getting consistent velocities around 2775 fps. This is with Retumbo powder (around 90.5 gr) and loaded 0.010" off the lands. I selected this bullet due to the bonded construction. I have used bergers in the past and have had marvelous success at long range with accuracy but after a run in with a bear (9 shots under 4 yards) I was not happy with the weak construction for close quarters work. The NAB has worked well on big game without coming completely apart out to distances to 800 yrds. I am getting 1/2 Moa accuracy out to 750. Haven't got to check further than that yet. The gun is still fairly new. I also worked up some loads (more guessed) for a sako trg-42. Powder charge was similar with similar accuracy. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
