Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 127 LRX Expansion

Hey JGRaider,

I gave the 130 Accubond a try yesterday. Same load of 19.5 g AA5744. Much different result. Bullet went through the first jug w/o expanding and then started to tumble. It started into jug #5 then bounced to parts unfound. I was a little surprised, but the Accubond appears to be harder at 1800 fps (*at least in milk jugs ).

I'm curious how the 129 SST's will fare. I pretty much use SST's exclusively now for target practice paired with a comparable LRX/TTSX for hunting in all my rifles as they are reasonable priced and have always shot very well for me. I often carry both bullets when hunting in case I want a softer bullet for some reason, varmint, long shot, etc.

Here's the exit hole from the 1st jug before it started tumbling....
