I've got a little experience with it. What are your questions? |

I've been shooting 130gr corelocks and not real happy with them. I know someone with all the reloading stuff so I plan on trying it out. I'm looking to to jump up to 140gr bullets. Just seeing what recipes everyone is using. |

Nosler Accubond N-165 - 65gr MOA or less, great bullet Start load around 63 gr just for safety's sake. IMR4350, and Alliant RL19 and 22 should make good powder options too 64 gr should be a safe starting point for the RL 19 and 22, 57 gr for the IMR 4350 Reference a reloading manual that has those bullets or powders listed just to confirm safe starting loads for those powder/bullet combos. Barnes TSX Great bullet, have no experience in the 140 variant, but you won't be disappointed. Same powders should be considered. |

Thanks. I've read up on the Barnes before. |

Since you're wanting the 140gr, I would lean towards the nosler. Only reason is I've got a lot more animal kills with it. The barnes I've only used on a couple hogs. It's great, insta-drops, but I don't have enough use on anything else to be able to say from experience. The accubond I've used more, and have a friend that's hunted elk with them with zero issue. He doesn't like chasing animals, so if he's happy with it, then I trust it. |

He just called you OUT. lol I've never been impressed with them either, but it's all that was available when I was hunting with Dad's old 270 growing up. Always had to spend some time looking to find them after shooting them. Haven't had that issue since we switched to the nosler and hornady bullets. |

I'll second the accubonds. Great bullet, have talk tried the accubond LR yet? |

BB, I have not. I just don't have a need for a long range hunting bullet. If I did, that 190 looks good on paper. If I'm shooting past 300, it's at targets that target bullets perform adequately on. I've found in the past that regardless of ballistic coeficient, hunting bullets tend to have a little more inconsistency about them, which is unnoticeable unless you're trying to shoot 1 inch groups past 300 yards. |
