Gonna start working on a load for a friends browning BAR rifle soon and was wondering if someone had a pet load to share.
I think we want to start with a nbt or a accubomb in 130 or 140
Any info would be appreciated

I use nothing but MagPro with the Nosler 140 gr Accubond in my 270 WSM
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

I'm running RL-17 in Winchester brass, fed 215 mag primer, under 130gr accubonds. I'm getting 3375fps, and routinely shooting 5/8 groups at 100 with a Winchester model 70 EW
Oh, and believe it or not, deer bite. Fairly hard.

I have used RL25 and 140 Accubonds and had decent accuracy with velocity running right at 3,200 fps at the muzzle. I have only used it on antelope but the performance was outstanding.
I have been playing with 90 grain Sierra lately as a coyote and informal target/practice bullet. Lots of fun.

Gamekings and Accubonds, both in 140 grain, shoot very well over some IMR-4350, in my Winchester Featherweight. Absolutely no further load development is necessary as far as I'm concerned.

130 TSX with a heavy shot of MagPro put hoofs in the air on several deer I shot. The rest simply went straight down.

Magpro is the way to go. I have a few loads for the 270WSM but the 140 TTSX with 65grns of MagPro is my favorite cause the Barnes is my go to bullet. Work your way up carefully.
Remember, not everyone has a happy ending, so be happy when you can

I load IMR 4350 and 140 accubonds. They shot so well I haven't tried anything else. That's in 2 Savages and a CDL. That's the max load from Nosler book#6.
