Any of you guys have experience loading the Nosler Accubond LR bullets? I was looking at reviews for the last hour and came away with this, specifically on the .284 150 grain bullet;
They have a reduced surface so you need a faster twist rate to stabilize them, like a 9.5-1?
Most didn't see any advantage over the regular Accubonds in accuracy?
I believe I'm a decent reloader because, except for one gun, I've been able to get sub 1" groups. But after reading some of the reviews it seemed some guys with experience were having issues with these bullets. I don't reload for fun, just to get the best performance I can and to use the bullets I think will do the job the best.
That said, I'm now leaning towards the Accubond 160 grain bullet in 7mm Rem Mag instead of the 150 grain LR bullets. The price is only 60% of the LRs and they have a high BC although not as high as the LRs. And according to these reviews they are more "forgiving."
Thoughts????
