They dont even list IMR4831 for this bullet in the manual that I have.
It isnt with just one powder, every powder listed for this bullet in ther book is pushing over 3200fps. The slowest powder listed is Vit N150 and it is shooting 3200fps with a max load. H414 is listed at 3293, H380 is 3283, XMR4350 is 3286, RL15 is 3260, IMR4064 is 3284, Norma 204 is 3270.
I dont know if they are correct but all powders listed are pretty close. Like I said before I dont like Barnes bullets so I will probably never find out but I will be chronoing some 180 Accubonds as soon as the snow melts. I will work them up with caution because this has sparked my interest. I will let you know the real numbers.
