I have been shooting the Accubonds (.284 - 140gn) lately at the range. If I shoot well, they are easily capable of 1/2" - 3/4" grouping at 100yds. This is out of my 280 with both IMR 4350 and Reloader 19 using Federal 210 primers. Anybody else been developing loads using these bullets?

I've got some loaded up for my next range session. Hope to try them on game this season. I have both the 7MM 140s and the .308" 180s I'm working with. Haven't fired any yet.

Have been using Nosler 140 BalTip in my .280 Ruger 77 over H4831sc for years. It will shoot 1" groups all day at 100 yds. Deer don't have a chance. Just acquired a .280 Encore barrel. Haven't shot it yet, but hope the same load works. Nosler Accubond shoots exactly the same as the BalTip in my Ruger. :-D

I shot my .280 Encore barrel for the first time today. Used same load that shoots in my Ruger M77. Seated bullet just off lands and got 1.5 groups at 100 yds. Used some of my Ruger loads that bullet is seated to reloading manuel depth and durn if it didn't shoot .75 groups at 100 yds. What a difference bullet seating depth made. Shot 140 gr Accubond over 4831sc with cci200 primer. :lol:
