[QUOTE="Freebore, post: 257308, member: 873"] Could not get those Accubonds to shoot for me in 2 different rifles. I shoot my 2 .257's with a full load of H-1000 215's and 115 Nosler Bal-Tip, 3.305 OAL. Never had animal take more than 2 steps at any range I shot. This load shoots 1/2" for me. I fire 3 shots like I was shooting at animal because that's real field scenario. 70+ grains RL-22 100 Sierra's 66 grains IMR4831 120 Speer BT 3.300 OAL Get the bedding right and your good to go. One thing, if it had a pressure point you just may need it. My Lazermark and Lghtwgt have had them redone by my bedding guy....bingo. Got rid of them once the rifles would not shoot. NEVER shoot more than 3 shot groups in any sporter rifle chambered for that cartridge actually any Weatherby cartridge. Like previous post have stated too much heat. Let the barrel go COLD between groups or go home until you have the time to do this. [/QUOTE]
