If your interested in 168 or 175 grain 7mm ABLRs you might want to check out Shooters pro shop $19.95/100. A pretty good deal on seconds. I already have a bunch I paid about twice that for.

Got some thanks. Dang sexy bullets.

How many of these 2nds are just blemished jackets, vs. what percentage are out of spec, would you say?

I’ve had REALLY good results with the 168 gr, 7mm bullets (seconds) and Retumbo in several 7 mags. My 7 mag, 40-xb puts ‘em in tiny groups. A 700 APR does almost as well. All of the seconds in this bullet look just fine, shoot well and I really can’t figure out what’s different from the “firsts”.

They seem the same to me usually with BT the tips are off color or some other cosmetic blemish. Some have cannelures that the regular product does not. Also you see some odd weights like the 101 grain E-tips I purchased a few months ago. I have heard other people writing that they had more weight variation but I suspect it was just that particular lot.
I would like to compare them with a Juenke bullet tester but doubt that this would turn up anything unusual.

They had the regular 150 Accubonds at SPS too.

What powders are you using in the 7RM? I am just weening myself off H870 and moving to R26 but want to see if there is anything as fast but with better hot weather stability.
Also anyone shoot the 168s in a 1-10 twist? My 280AI shoots standard 160s fine.
