stpeterhunter53 · Nov 23, 2013

while guys i pulled the trigger on a tikka t3 stainless 270 wsm i will be putting a leupold vx3 cds 4.5 x 14 on it i think i will be loading some 140 accubond for it SO what do you guys think will that work ok mite be looking for loads imfo ??

Thats a great light weight rifle. I dont understand the 4.5 x 14? Id go with the VX6. As far as bullets go's thats a good bullet. I would think you'll get 1/2 inch groups with that round. If you plan on shooting long range look for the highest B C maybe 150 weight.

Nothing wrong with the 140ab. Great bullet and the wsm is one of my favorite rounds. Im shooting the 150 accubond long range right now.

I have good luck with H4831sc. With 130 berger and 140 accubonds. And rl 17 with the 140. I tried sum 150 lr accubonds. I didn't have much luck. Going to try again though...

I have the same set up. My load is 140 accubonds with 210 match primer and 62.5 gr of h 4831 col of just under clip length of 2.862
Shoots a great group.
Enjoy your new gun. They shoot sweet.

thanks guy i was hopping this a good gun and cal. can anyone get those accubond long range to shoot good havn't heard to much good about them yet

Cahunter805 i believe has had good luck with the Accubond LR 150's thru his but i didn't or haven't had great results to date.

Nothing wrong with the 140 Accubond, NOTHING at all, IMO, an outstanding cartridge-bullet combo!!

My loading notes are still packed away from our recent move, but my Tikka 270 WSM shot anything I fed it well. I've shot 2 bears with the 140 AB and they performed excellently. The rifle liked the 140 AB with RL-22 and Fed 215M primers. Seated to just under magazine length. Not exactly a one hole load, but definitely cloverleaves if I do my part.

Do yourself a favor though- ditch the crappy recoil pad and swap it for a limbsaver. Made a huge difference.

Sorry, don't mean to hijack your thread. But I'm shooting backbones right now. My rifles a winchester 70, 1 in 10 twist. What's the heaviest bullet I can stabilize?

nvbones · Nov 23, 2014

Accubonds not backbones sorry autocorrect.

Hi guys, still have'nt tried R17 or 22, however, as i hav commented in another 270 wsm post about th effects of the 150gr NABLR on a medium sz deer neck shot i hav just shot another at longer ranges. Medium sz stag, just behind shoulder, round dropped him, however, fragmented/ exploded, internal damage to drop him but still alive, he would hav eventual died (30 -45 min lata), so finished him off agan. 1st shot 525m behind shoulder, after a couple stumbles etc then sat down, 2nd shot 470m to finish him off, neck, lights out. I will hav to try on larger deer to more effects/ energy/ kill at th longer ranges to be satisfied. Accuracy not a problem, where i aimed, i hit. My goal is to archieve a 700- 800m kill on medium (sika) to larger (red) deer.
