I'm having some work done to my rifle and have some.215 Berger's loaded up for load development when it comes back. I couldn't get 200 accubonds and retumbo much under moa but didn't try all that hard. Ill save the 200 accubonds for my 06.

Post by: hoyt2002 on March 10, 2012, 05:47:49 PM: 165 gr. accubond
remington brass
remington 9m primers
90 grains of imr7828

In my rifle it shoots moa. I killed a buck and a spike bull with them this year. This is a max load in the Nosler loading book so start low and work you way up. good luck.

Post by: Jamieb on March 10, 2012, 10:39:44 PM: My rifle loves 95.5gr of retumbo under a 200gr accubond. 95,5gr is too much for a couple of freinds rifles but I'm not seeing any press. signs and the brass is lasting at least 10 fireings.

Post by: BULLBLASTER on March 19, 2012, 11:45:38 AM: I have only tried retumbo in my rum. I use imr 4350 in most other calibers though. 243 7 mag and 30-06

That's what I was thinking. But may work with light bullets. I like heavy bullets for my RUM.

Post by: high country on March 20, 2012, 10:42:59 AM: I use 7828 with good results when I was loading xlc's and sgk's. It produced good accuracy and velocity. My personal favorite load is 110gr 8700 under a 180tsx. It's a real pleasure in a 6lb gun too....lol.

Post by: Huntboy on March 20, 2012, 11:05:50 AM: In the new Nosler reloading manual, they said it worked real well with the lighter bullets. They show it for 165 and 180 gr., thinking about accubonds.

Post by: gadwall on March 21, 2012, 06:33:20 AM: Huntboy,

7828, 8700 and Retumbo are all good choices. I will be starting with 7828 and a 180 Accubond to work up a load for a friends rifle this summer. Good luck and let us know how yours shoots.

Post by: high country on March 21, 2012, 07:59:33 AM: You won't find any 8700. Accurate decided to kill it off, and I bought every bottle I could find. If you do find some....I only have a few pounds left.

Post by: buckhorn2 on March 21, 2012, 08:12:22 AM: My friend and I both load with H1000 his gun uses 891/2 and mine uses 92 with the 200 accubonds we have got good groups and has worked good for game.
