Ouch! I've also been looking for those Unicorns for a while, but $1.10 each is tough to swallow.
Thanks for giving us the heads-up!

I bought 150 of the Shooters Pro Shop 2nds about 2 weeks ago for $36 per bag of 50. I haven't shot them yet but plan to soon. For a 6.5 Creedmoor what would be your powder recommendation or what has worked well with this bullet for you ?

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

H4350 has been my go to powder for 130 gr. bullets in my Creedmoor and .260. However, I have 5 lbs of StaBALL, and I am going to test how well this powder performs with 130 gr. bullets in the near future.

One rifle likes Varget and the other likes H4350.

I worked up a very good load with the 130 ABs and IMR 4166. I only shot one deer with it, so I can’t comment too much on performance. Had to shoot in the chest almost straight on. No exit, with very little blood trail. He ran a good ways. My wife saw him go down from another stand. I would use the ABs again, but hopefully have a better shot angle for a pass through.

I’ve been looking for those for months. I did find one box of 130gr Hornady Interbonds in a LGS the other day for about half price. I assume they were old stock.

I load the 130 Accubond seconds from SPS for my Barrett 6.5 Swede. 47 grains of RL19 and a CCI 200 have been giving me 2775 FPS and sub .5 MOA. There ain't nothing wrong with those seconds. I've killed ton of pigs and deer with it and they have all gone straight down.
I've got a really accurate load for my 6.5 PRC with the 130 Accubond as well. As soon as all of my Scirocco handloads are gone I'm going to the Accubond.
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

Grice Gunshop has some, but only about a Buck cheaper. I’m beginning to think that Nosler likes a lot of money as well.

In my 6.5X57 and 6.5X55 they are my go-to bullet for deer. Stocked up a while ago.
