There is a 7 mm 150-gr Accubond Long Range with a BC of .611. Perhaps that's not the "normal" AB you speak of?

Among the Ballistic Tips that showed no advantage was the 150 7mm, Which is why it has so many fans. Have you ever tried it?

In case anybody's interested, another was the 100-grain .25 caliber BT.


I have not to date. But, this recent reassurance from several of my CF friends has encouraged me to do so. It is next on my bullet test agenda. Thank you for the prompt.


Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.

No sir. I wanted a plain Jane 150 AB in .284, not a long range bullet.

Thanks for that info Mule Deer, even if off the OP! I have many rounds of 25.06 loaded. 100 gr TSX for hunting and 100 gr BT for plinking or coyotes. Good to know, I can feel comfortable flinging the BT in the direction of bigger game.

The 100 BT isn't a TSX or Partition, but it's not soft, by any means. The last deer I killed with one was a mature Montana whitetail doe, quartering toward me at about 50 yards, the rifle a .257 Roberts with the 100 loaded to 3050 fps. The bullet hit the shoulder joint and ended up under the hide at the rear of ribcage on the opposite side.
