Northcoast, like to hear about the game you have shot, where hit, and what the outcome was using the Accubonds.
John, I'd done the same thing, good on you for following up quick. No big love for hogs, but I don't watch anything linger after hit either. Nice scope, specs? Thanks.
Alan, hope all is well sir.

Cliff,
In a bit of a quandry. When developing my 130 VLD load this spring for the light Pierce in 6.5x47, I ran could not get the 130 Hunting so opted instead for the 130 Target version. That's what I've been shooting all Spring and Summer. Now, i'm getting advice to not use the Target version for hunting since the jacket is heavier (which I knew) and reliable opening at LR could be compromised. I've now got some Hunting 130's and a few more boxes inbound. Out of curiosity, I measure the bearing surface with two Horndady 6.5mm comparators and find that the Target version is .023" longer. I then measure from the base of the bullet to the front of the bearing surface and sure enough; .023" longer for the Target version. I'd read they were identical bullets but the caliper doesn't lie. In the next few weeks after I compete in the Utah State Sniper Shoot, 8-9 Sept, I'll see how my accuracy is. Might have to tweek the load/seating depth to regain the accuracy.
Alan
PS. How's the weather?

I'm working on the 130 NAB for the 6.5X47L in my stable.
When it comes together it'll go Elk hunting.
