Thread: New Nosler Accubond lineup for Long Range shooting

It's not just the BC though. It's also the ENOURMOUS effective velocity window they are claiming.

Be nice if the numbers turn out to be true but........

Damn straight. My A Max stock pile might need to be re evaluated. I'll use Andrew as my guinea pig until then.

I called into the importers to pick up some bits and pieces and we might be waiting a bit longer.
Never mind 1500 amax will take a while to use!

Hi Guys - on another subject have any of you guys had access through the Karioi forest in Ohakune or hunted in the area?

Cheers

Have hunted it heaps of times but this is not the thread to discuss it sorry. This thread is for anal gear freaks, like me

Why don't they make any 140 6.5 rounds?

Fark, thats quite a tangent to take. It usually just veers off toward homosexuality or drinking.


Anyway, anyone know why my cat keeps on coughing up hairballs?

Your kids are vacuuming with it when your not looking???

I don't get the deal with always using the same weights. Round numbers and the like. Surely there is an optimal weight and shape for a diameter, and I'm sure it does not fall on a round number. I guess its for old reloading data.

As far as the impact velocity goes, why not? Super high BC projectiles are super long, have super high sectional densities and penetrate like crazy because of it. Like arrows. So they will penetrate even when they are very fragile. If you achieve penetration through shape not robust construction, you can have a very wide effective impact velocity.

This.
Last few deer I've shot with my 6.5x55 using 140 amax doing around 2730fps have been: First one went through the shoulder and straight out the other side taking a leg bone with it. The second through bones -> leg,rib, rib, leg and straight out. Lost a bit of meat because of it too.

I swear you could Texas heart shoot a deer with a 6.5 and it will still come out the other side.

Na mate, I hunted it whenever I was in waiouru and couldnt get a Army zone to hunt. We used to hunt the native. I couldnt tell ya what access is like nowadays. Got a jap spiker in there once.
Only place I ever had a vehicle broken into in my life as well.
