129g Accubonds

[Mooretitan]

Doesn’t look like I am going to get the 127LRX to group the way I want for my sons elk hunt coming up so I ordered some 129 Accubonds Long range to hopefully work up a load before his hunt. Going to stay within 300 yards. Anyone shooting this out of a creed and if so what loads are you working with.
We have a 140 VLD load worked up that is shooting 1/2 Moa out to 300 but hoping to get another load worked out. If not we will just stay with the Berger’s, I have read lots of great reports about them so I am not worried about him putting one in the boiler room.
Thanks

I used them in my CM on my Stone Sheep Hunt.
42.2 g of RL 16. Fed 210s.

I would stick with berger vld if they are accurate. I shot 168s out my 7mm wsm. I have shot 4 elk, 4 pronghorns with vld from 30 yards to 605 yards. All 1 shot kills except for a cow elk that shot last year because I took a follow up shot both shots 230 yards and both would have killed it in 10 yards. Only thing I have to watch is staying off the shoulder within 200 yards due to the speed of my magnum.

The Accubonds Longe range have very mixed reviews on performance. I would stick with regular accubonds if you want to go with nosler and only shooting 300 yards.

If you want another long range option, Hornady eld-x Would be my choice over noslers.

I would send the vlds(the hunting version not the newer target ones). Limited to 300 yards out of a creedmore and proper placement which is important for for any 140 gr bullet on an elk, it should preform perfect.

I couldn't get the 150 LRAB to shoot well in my 280AI but the 129 LRAB shoots really well in my Creedmoor along with the 210 LRAB in my 300 RUM.

I too have heard the "mixed" reviews but take them with a grain of salt. I've seen how guys shoot and few impress.

Not every bullet will shoot well in every rifle so even if they work for me they might not work well for you....but at 300 yards about anything will shoot well enough!!!!

150 LRAB fly well with published book reload data out of all my .270's using "most accurate powder" tested.

So, you never know.

I use 200 gr accubonds outta the 300 RUM.

Never let me down!

143 gr Hornady eld-x works great in the two creedmoor’s we have shot them out of using h-4350. Good luck.
