Dale my 300wby shoots 180 accubonds real well I load 79 grains of H4831 and the animals had good bullet retention that have got. I also seat the bullets out a little so they just clear the magazine.

Are the accubonds boattails?

A while back I realized that all the bullets I have tried to reload for that gun are all boattails and the coreloks are flat base. So I purchased some Barnes flatbase and a couple other flatbase bullets to try. Haven't loaded them yet, but my fingers are crossed.

Against popular belief, more often than not. A flat base bullet is inherently more accurate than a boat tail at intermediate ranges. They tend to be more stable and don't need a little yardage to " Settle down " as in the case of some of the boat tail bullets. Being a boat tail or not doesn't really make that much of a difference on a bullets performance until the extended ranges. So for a average hunting encounter one would in no way be handi-capped slumming a flat base.
