[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 1904475, member: 13"] With Mark’s information (I would encourage a 15 inch barrel as well as a minimum), A 180 grain Accu-bond would have right a 2500 ft./s muzzle velocity. With a 400 yard max hunting distance, the Accu-bond will be going just under 1800 fps at 400 yards, depending on atmospheric conditions. if I am correct, 1800 ft./s is the minimum impact velocity that Nosler gives for the Accubond bullet line. If, you think that you’re going to be pushing the maximum distances more often, or distances close to your max, you may want to consider upping your case capacity, and using a very good muzzle brake.
