That is published BC though, actual maybe there's more of a difference.
You could check in a ballistic calculator to see what you can expect. Try: http://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmtraj-5.1.cgi

Your rifle should push the 250's well. I was shooting the .375 260's @ 3050fps.

The Accubond performed perfectly! Still had 2009 fps and 2329 foot pounds at impact at 560 yards.

Idk biggerhammer, York tested some gamekings for me and even he was impressed.
What does Yorke know??? He's been buried in a mountain of powder, primers, bullets and assorted shooting junk for way too long. :tup: Seriously, you have to question the mental stability of a guy that builds a .338-.408 Cheytac handgun.

While most people were eating lunch today, I was working out details and ordering a reamer for a .22 Nosler necked up to 6mm for a AR project.🙃

The rebated rim for a standard 5.56 bolt face, quality brass and 6.8 SPC case capacity sold me.

Second point is there is no substitute for actual field shooting. The ballistic calculator is a great tool, but it requires good data for good solution. Little nuances like barrel twist have effects on the BC of your bullet which create compounding accuracy effects, or standard devation causing a vertical miss.
The only way to know that you are where you expect to be is to shoot farther than you expect to hunt and verify your ballistic solutions.
Relying on published data is a dissapointment waiting to happen.

How did I get drug into this??? :chuckle: Don't be jealous just because you didn't build the CT pistol first; you know you want one.

And I think I beat you to the 6mm project too while working with Gunsmith-X/McFiddlesticks like a year ago. You're just cheating and using the readily available 22 nosler case instead of forming it form an obscure European case. Fine, do it the easy way if you want. Maybe I'll just build a 6mm Dasher using the last of the ARP .473" bolts and extensions and run circles around your little 6mm.
Back on topic, I imagine that the 250 Accubond will drop more than the Sierra. Sierra is pretty darn close on their posted BCs, Nosler not so much.

I thought Dirk hung it up and moved to Fla to pursue a professional shuffleboard career?
Said something about all the single hoochi mama's needing love and that guns just weren't all that challenging anymore...

Idk... I've shot .50s.... But that CT instantly made me think maybe my balls weren't as big as I thought. :dunno:
Between York and Biggerhammer. And occasionally Sharkbait... I feel like I need to build a poor man's custom off a savage Axis action

Now that stung a little..
I talked to Compas Lake Engineering about building me a AR barrel in 6mm Dasher from a Bartlien blank with that extension and bolt. They were sniveling about how unsafe it was. I told them who cares your not the one pulling the trigger. Still looking for someone that would spin it up for me.

It's a great example of why because something can be done, doesn't mean it should be done. :tup: A Savage action will get you into some pretty fun calibers if you think out side the box. I think I have 375 BME reamer floating around somewhere still......
