Where to get Nosler, 7mm, 175 Grain Long Range Accubond Bullets?

[7MM Blake Magnum]

I have been trying all sorts of high BC, heavy 7mm bullets that I shoot at 3200-3300 FPS, and having a hard time finding ones that hold together. The 168 and 180 grain bergers explode about 20-30 yards from the muzzle. I can slow them down to around 3000 and they will work. I have talked to berger, and they say with a 31" barrel, and the velocities that I am shooting that the hunting VLD will not work. They recommend their target bullet with the thicker jacket. So I got some of those but havent loaded them up yet in the 180's. The 180 grain SMK's blow up after about 2 shots through the barrel, due to the increased heat. Sierra says that is common for this high of velocity's. I have been shooting the 168 grain solid copper Barnes bullets for now, but the BC is terrible compared to the lead core bullets. So I have talked to Nosler, and they say that their Accubond long range 175 grain will definitely hold together, problem is, is that I cannot find them anywhere. Do you guys know of a place to get a box of them? Thanks.

Have you tried the Berger 180 Hybrids? They seem to have a much thicker jacket than the others.

If you do try the 180 hybrids don't shoot them at anything closer than 350 unless it is a ribs only shot. A shoulder shot at 410 yards absolutely grenaded in a buck I took this year. DRY and Turned lungs to jello but much closer and I don't know if it would have turned out as well. Launched at 3000.

It seems like the 168 7mm ABLRs are available often. I don't think the real world BC is much lower than the 175. Maybe try and find some 168s. I think there are some for sale in the classifieds here.

Third generation shooting supply has a bunch of the 168 accubond long ranges in stock. None of the 175's though.

I have a half box (I couldn't get them to shoot in my gun) and I know a guy who has 3 boxes he is trying to get rid of.

Thanks JF239 for helping me out.

I am still trying to source some of these bullets, if anyone has any laying around they would want to sell.

Tried to order 5 boxes but every time I type in ALASKA the bastards want over $2700.00 in "TAXES" !

We always get ripped off in shipping charges, regardless if the postal rate is the same to all 50 states, for some reason we always get charged extra because .... OMG ! it's going to Alaska ... $20 more !!

But $2700.00 in TAXES ??
Never heard of such a thing ..... so ****ed off.........

Obviously a mistake of some sort, but you gotta admit it's kinda funny.

Thanks for the heads up I appreciate it,.

To others I ordered and tax and everything was fine. I will say though that it did take a couple tries as the ordering system kept erroring out so maybe there was something up with i. But I did get my confirmation email from them. Bought 2 boxes of the 175 LRAB

I still think you should forget the LRAB's and look into the Berger 180 Hybrids...

I shot Accubonds for the last 7-8 years. But since discovering Bergers 2 years ago, I have never been more impressed with a bullet as i have with Bergers. Especially since you can buy both target and hunting versions of their VLD's, and they both fly EXACTLY the same.

I plan also on using the 180s and 195 when they come out but I want to have the 175 as it seems you can really push the vel and I want to have an alternative that I already have a good worked up load for. In an ideal world all I will basically use with will be the 195s.
