Had it all figured out was gonna spend the weekend at the range shootin the new savage 223 was gonna try some accubonds in the 7-08 but the weather is not being very reasonable suppose to get up to 3 inches before it's done sometime tommorow Mad

and 25 to 35 mph winds. So much for my weekend at the range Sad

Hi Joe,

Raining up here today too. Of course I wouldn't have been able to get to my range anyway. There is still 18" or so of snow on my camp road. BTW, you mentioned Accubonds. Have you had good luck with them? I bought a box of .308's and .270's and when I weighed them to "batch" them, I was pleased at the weight consistency. The entire boxes (both) were within .2 grs of each other! Most other bullets I weigh vary by a lot more than that, but I have found that Noslers (including the partitions) have been remarkably consistent in weight. Has that been your experience as well? And more to the point.....how do they shoot? The only experience I've had with them so far was with factory ammo in my Encore barrels (that had a tendency to misfire), so I don't feel that was a good test. Thanks for your input.

Blaine

Howdy Blaine. Wish i was more help this will be the first time with the accubonds for me i hope they are as good as they say. And yes i have found nosler bullets to be very consistant as well. I haven't heard anything bad about the accubond i'll just have to shoot some and find out

All that rain hit us as snow... weather guys say we have 500" of snow in the high country... which finally puts us back to an "normal" year.

Hi
I know what you mean about the rain. For the last 2 months it has been nice during the week and would rain on the weekend. Last night I told my wife that I wished this weather pattern would change. It did, last night we had a twister set down, missed my house by about 100 yards. We were without power for 18 hours. As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for.

No Rain here today in the Dakotas. Put on my new Mueller Tactical scope on the .223 today, went out and got her sighted in and spend the rest of the day shooting Praire dogs. Was a great day!! Very Happy
