Anyone have any pet loads they would like to share using 180 grain Nosler accubonds? Would prefer H4831 or H4350, but am open to any help/info. Thanks

MK V 300 Bee. This was the 180 TTSX but it shot the 180 Accubonds almost as well.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

My Bee’s replaced my 338’s. I concentrated on 200 grain Partitions. With RE26 I shot multiple groups close to .65 MOA. Three give-shot groups in a row as I recall the largest was a hair larger than that. I went out and bought a second one - 700 Classics.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

If you want to penetrate 3 garbage trucks, that would be the one to do it..

Correction, 15 shots total in three consecutive groups: 300 Weatherby Remington , 700 Classic, 200 grain Nosler Partition, 215, 78.2 grains RE 26, 0.66 MOA 300 Weatherby Remington , 700 Classic, 200 grain Nosler Partition, 215, 78.2 grains RE 26, 0.71 MOA 300 Weatherby Remington , 700 Classic, 200 grain Nosler Partition, 215, 78.2 grains RE 26, 0.71 MOA So far, no recovered bullets, so I'm not sure how they performed. But my impression is that it will do.

All of the loads listed seem to be fine. I have shot whitetails, mule deer, and elk with mine. When I was hunting Pa. and WVa. years ago, my pal was a real gun nut. We were always trying different calibers, plus I had an older friend that was one of the original long range shooters in Pa. He liked the .300 Wea. At the time mentioned one of the better bullets for light game was the Seirra 165 gr. hpbt. We all shot it I used it a great deal on western game, but one shot always sticks in my mind. I was easing through an old apple orchard when a huge doe stood up from her bed. I shot her behind the shoulder and she just collapsed. I will say the bullet did not exit nor destroy much meet. It didn't exit. I believe the load sent that bullet at just over 3400 fps. Shot into the shoulders the was massive destruction. But it was a deadly killer on deer!!

My Alamo Precision Maverick likes Nosler factory 200 grain Accubonds. .588 BC 3090 fps. Killed a 30" moose and a B&C Woodland Caribou in New Foundland this year, no bullets recovered.

Ill have to check around for some 7828 I'd give your H4350 and H4831 a try before you buy anything else. H4350 with 180's of a few varieties have worked well to the tune of 3100-3200 with 180's. Same for H4831. I'd load up a handful of both before trying to find something you might not need.

Yup, I'd probably go that direction myself or RL23 just to keep stuff as stable as possible. I know I'll get the speed out of them and maintain consistencies for temps. I like H1000 alot myself. It's a killer in the Mashburn as well.

IMR 7828 with 180s and H1000 with 210 gr Bergers usually work very well.

I used MagPro, Norma MRP, and Ramshot Magnum before settling on RL26, which is now made from unobtainium. I shoot 168 TTSX over slightly less than a max load of RL 26 and Fed GM215M primers in Weatherby or Norma cases @ 3,280 fps if I recall correctly. Never a run-off or recovered bullet. If I exhaust my supply of 168 TTSX, I may switch to Barnes 175 LRX for a wee bit better BC.

I am glad I tried it, accurate and excellent speed with that rifle and Magnum seems very available.
