Where have you been bud http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,89868.0.htmlI am very happy they have put them out. I had to keep my trap shut about them tell I got my books I wanted to spill the beans months ago when they started working on them
I just bought the remington 700 xcr2 in .338rum. Had a muzzle brake put on and got a McMillan stock. Bought a Nightforce 5.5-22x50 and think I can get at least 2950 fps out the muzzle. I was on cabelas website buying some brass when I discovered that they were selling a 300 gr accubond. I shoot an accubond out of all my guns. The only reason I bought this .338 rum was to shoot a 300 gr berger but now I can go with an accubond. I am pumped to see what it can do.
Welli feel like a kid you got a game boy instead of an x box. . How do you think they will perform in a little 338 win mag? Is that powerful enough to see these bullets really perform?

I am pumped to see what it can do.You won't come close to 2950 in a 338rum. If its a 26" barrel, you might hit 2750. Even with a 30" barrel it will only get to the 2800 range. The 338 edge will get it close. Mine runs the 300 Bergers at 2950.
Yep maybe it's time to start looking for a new rifle ; ). I'd sure like a 338-378 to try these in!
Yeah I couldn't afford the brass for a 338-378. Should be fun to see how these bullets work non the less, good moose round for the 338 win mag I have when I get drawn this year ; )

It was just a guess on what I was going to get out the muzzle. I want a long range bullet so if the 300gr accu is not going to hit hard enough at 600yds than I will look at the 250gr or 225gr accu for more speed. I am not a fan of blood trails. I like to shoot and gut.
