For those of you in the know...where can I get some Nosler Accubond 110 grainers in 6.8?

I had one like it. Sold it to build a Stainless threaded 20in. Mine shot 115 Fusions in a one ragged hole.
Nosler is making the 110 AB this month. They have been non existent for 2 years. The Hornady 120 SST works well also.
Ive been shooting my AR's in 6.8 alot 4 deer and a hog so far over the last 3 years

SST works great in 6.8 because the velocity is lower. Its a Hog hammer. Some people hunt with 130's This guy prefers the SST https://youtu.be/6WYtJVcIgFc

I've owned two of the 6.8 Light Tactical 700, wish I had them back. I would try the E-tip, Prohunter's shot well in mine. The 130 grain Ballistic Tip is from the older stock, not sure how the jacket is on the newer models.

Perhaps a thread on how to hold, cut and finish sectioning a bullet like this? That is a very clean cut.

I dabbled a little with the 6.8, and still have a couple AR barrels & bolt. If someone wants them shoot me a PM, they will be reasonable. Think I'll probably work with a Grendel next.
