LAST EDITED ON Jun-02-12 AT 08:21PM (MST)[p]NoDoe, i did a on line search and came up empty. Your best shot might be at a mom and pop sporting good store or from one of the many who have the Fed Firearms license and sell reloading stuff, firearms, and accessories out of their garage or small shop on their property.
That would seem to be a very popular bullet and there must be a few boxes sitting in stock thru these smaller independent sources. Good Luck!!

Joey, the Accubonds are for a Savage 110 L I bought new in the late sixtys. It is a 7mm Rem. Mag. The load that I worked up this winter is 64 grains of 7828ssc and a Fed. 215. It will put three shots right at a inch if I do my part. In the past I have always used Nosler 175 Par. for elk but they don't shoot any way near that good. I drew two elk tags this year. If I get lucky and shoot an elk I will let you know how the Accubonds performed.

They'll do just fine on elk. I shot a bull a few years ago with that bullet at 450yds, complete pass through, he just stood there until he got wobbly and fell over.

Thanks for the reply! I asked because you might have been using a 280AI and if so i had some questions, but, sounds like a great loading for the 7mm Rem Mag. My money is on the Accubond over those Elk!!
Good luck on your hunts!!
