AusVarmint

I use a B&T Energetics 180g thru the 30/06 and seems to work just fine :D I have also poked a couple of 160g accubonds into Fallow which work just fine too. As per Micks post the 30/30 can be used to good effect on the big brown deer which I used a 150g woody in. Not that hard to kill, you'll ge...

I was looking at some 275 Rigby data (well OK 7x57) and Nosler list the 160 accubond max with IMR4350 at 46g for 2622fps where as ADI with 2209 (same powder I believe) and 160g partition a max of 42.5g for 2399fps.

That is a massive difference!

I guess some are just over conservative

C'mon on over to the single shot side, you might just like it?

Must admit it caught my eye a little

Ooops I'm a day late Looks like you had a good one Camel, happy birthday for yesty

I believe Waldo got around 3299fps with the 75g Amax, factory FMJ's were clocked at 3371fps so fair chance there was still a bit to go?

Ooops

Camel wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 5:40 pm At least you know how to spell the name.

I was going to highlight the missing "l" but nah thought that was nit picking

Why don't you give some of those Varmint R B&T's a trot and see how they go?

C'mon Con, stop talking about it and just do it

Do kinda agree with the humpy one about the Valkyrie it does have a cool name

I tried em in a couple of different cals but was not overly impressed with them, never poked one into blood and bone though.

That said I did score the 5.6x57 from the experience so all was not lost

Similar to the Barnes copper solids so just start with their data and you should be OK.

C'mon Con, join the ranks of the 5.6x57 brigade

You know you want to

Cheers...

Shits of things to clean they are too

I have a late 70's Sako .17 Rem that sends the 25g vmax sideways and prints a perfect side on profile of the pill on target, still doesn't group half bad Went back to the old fashioned 25g HP and it shoots like a trooper

All this recent chat about the 6.5 Creedmoor is only making me want one
