Anybody give these a try? The .308 stuff advertises 190gr with a bc of .640 while the 210gr sports 0.730! Sounds like the perfect bullet for a 30 magnum.

Are they stocked anywhere? Heard some chatter last year about a spring release but never seen them advertised for sale.
I ordered 2 boxes from 10xtactical and recieved them today, there is no way in hell they will hit .730. I am guessing .640-.660 G1, they have a very long boattail though. I am more interested in the fact they will (maybe, yet to be tested) expand down to 1300 fps which will really extend the range of my 30/375 S.I.

Do some ballistic testing and performance testing(if you can) Then post back! Im very interested!!
Will do! i am going to load a few in my 308 with a case full of trail boss and shoot them into milk jugs to check for expansion, velocity should be about 1400 fps according to quickload.
yea that will tell alot, if you want to get closer to flesh without gelatin, bundle a bunch of phone books together and soak them for a day, then pull them out and shoot. I was told it was more realistic than water... But whatever you do will be great, just want to see what you find! Thanks!
I have a ton of newspapers i am saving to do testing on the 300 grain berger and 252 grain CE D60 out of my 338 Lapua.
FWIW, Years ago I did some expansion testing with handgun bullets and found that in water the bullet would travel about twice the distance as what manufactures were advertising in 10 percent gelatin. I was firing into a tube of water.
Niles Coyote, how far it penetrates isnt really of interest to me, i am more concerned if they will expand.
MTyotehunter, i agree! I was going to go shooting yesterday but it rained hard all day and is supposed to do the same today

I was finally able to get some of the 190 gr Accubond LR's ordered from an 'in stock' source today. Midsouth had them in stock today and I ordered 200. Hope they turn out to be worth the wait!!
Thought I'd let ya'll on here know now that I got enough to keep me for a while. Hope I don't burn up 200 bullets working up a load for my .300 Win Mag!
