Default RE: Accubond range report

Really wasn't planning on trying the 140 accubonds. My take on accubonds is they hold around 90% of thier weight so they are a heavy game bullet. I am loading 160s for my upcoming moose hunt. For the lighter stuff my Sako thrives on 150 Btips and have killed a couple of caribou with them so far with good results. I will also be using them on an Antelope hunt in October. If the 160 perform good on game they will likely become the heavy load of choice with my 7mm and I figure the 150 btips should handle everything else. Congrats on your Tikka, they are a great rifle. I originally wanted a 7mmWSM but they took too long getting them to market up here in Canada and I just did not have the patience to wait. Really not complaining so far about my choice. I used a .338 win mag for years on moose but wanted to get rid of the muzzlebreak it had while I still have some hearing left. That 7mm is a nice round to shoot. Should prove to be very versatile. Moose are the only critters that can test a rifle up here as our deer hunting is all in thick bush up close. We'll just have to see how she does.
