I concurr with you stubblejumper. My dad does alot of reloading for pistols.Its amazing how the same bullet w/a blue dot load shoots completley diff than the same bullet and a unique powder load.

I don't really care to reload for this rifle yet. I may have to before its over with. The only thing about the accubond is the only factory load I can find for it is in 180grs. Thats to much bullet for whitetails...I know your thinking...well 300wsm is to much gun period for wt....but I've always wanted a big bore gun so I got one.I may take itcaribou orbear hunting one day.I think I'm going to try the 165gr fed NP's and see how they do. My biggest motive is to get away from the ballistic tips. Though a devistating round when put in the right spot I've seen a few pore performances out of them in thepast when they contacted bone or brush in front of the animal. Plus if they hit a rib or something and explode they can mess some meat up.
