So now that we all concur that the Accubond is the most superior bullet in all of the universe...
I'm looking for load data on the 168 bullet.
Nosler lists Magnum, 4000MR, and Magpro.
I have a bunch of RL22 and retumbo. Anyone with real world experience with the LR 7mm accubond tried these powders?

Horse, i think many of us have found that the regular accubond is about a good as it gets in a hunting bullet, but the jury may still be out on what you can consistently expect from the LR version.

you are missing the boat. everyone is moving to solids. solid lead.
pellets. solid nose, hollow base is where its at, incredible penetration on bone and tremendous knockdown power.

...and the real hunters, (the rabbit hunters) are still choosing the precision of the berger.

I've had the best luck with 264-300 magnums with RE22 and 7828.

Buzzed will tell you to go with Red Dot it's what he makes 3600 yard shots with. and he has 460 pictures to prove it . or is it meters? yards are probably what ametuers use.

For my STW I loaded the 175's exactly as I did for 180 Bergers. 73gr RL25 and .015" off. First 3 shots were .600" at 200 yards.
I have no experience with the 168's but would mirror a Berger load to start.
