Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 300 Weatherby: Accubond/H4831 Load Question

Looking for load data H4831 & Nosler 180 Accubond. neither Nosler nor Hodgdon have data for this specific combo. E Tip listed from 71 - 78 grains. Most 180 grain loads are around 78, 79 max.

Anyone experienced with 180 Accubond and H4831 in Weatherby 300?

Thanks

Hodgdon does list data for the 180 FailSafe and the Speer BTSP. Do you have a chronograph? Looks like your max is going to be 80-82 grains determined by your rifle's specifics. If you don't have a chronograph, and are concerned about not being able to judge whether a top load is safe, give yourself some breathing room and stay at 78 or 79 grains.

It isn't a powder/bullet combo in a specific cartridge that matters, it is a powder/case/primer/bullet combo in YOUR SPECIFIC RIFLE. Start low and work up, and if you are unsure about things, give yourself a margin of safety.

We will see how they perform versus the Hornady BTSPs. Starting conservative - hopefully this is a good load. Thanks for the sanity check.
