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:D

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.

If you show up for our trip with those empty like that, I dont reckon you will get a turn at being the Daddy:thumbsup:

Do you want me to grab you some duty free? I will be grabbing us a port or whiskey. I already have a bit at home and would have more if Sneeze wasnt such a guts.

I'm just cleaning up the dregs. There's a few more bottles of Irish and Scottish go juice in the cupboard. It's good to keep the palate tuned.

Sneeze and I sampled a bit of both Irish and Scottish. Probably more than we should have due to the rain. We went thru 3 ltrs of whiskey in 6 nights.....well he did, I barely got a sniff:D

Soooooo,

Anyone got hold of the Accubond LR projectiles yet?

Do we know if there are any in NZ even?
Im keen to try them but was planning on a putting a 7mm barrel on to change up from 270wsm.

But if these work maybe I should just rebarrel in 270wsm with a bit more length?

Dam this thread wandered a bit didnt it... i havent heard of abybody actually getting any yet. Would expect a huge shortage initially so might take a while for us to get any yet...

Not in production yet other then some very limited runs of 30 cal for magazines .

Best guess is late this year or early next before they are here in any real numbers.

Mmm 30 cal :thumbup:

Looks like thay are starting to arrive in the country. Might be a while before we see any 7mm / 30cal instore...

Nosler Accubond Long Range 270 Cal 150grain

I get so excited every time I see this thread pop up but alas......dying to try some 7mms :thumbsup:

I want to try the 6.5s. Just to see how they go.

$108 for 100 isn't too bad a price. I just bought some :thumbsup:

Considering that buying 100 standard Accubonds costs $125 id say they are a pretty decent price. I'll stick with my Amaxes for a while yet, I have waaaaay too many of them to get through before I try anything new. :thumbsup:

Soddy. Do you have any there yet?

mmmm seam to have sold out already ?

IMO bit of a waste.
Nice BCs but ABs don't open up at distance. Would have been better doing them as BTs I think, and surpassed the Amax

They were supposed to open better than the old ones with a much lower opening speed than even the Amax suggests ... almost to good to be true :)

If that's the case then great, but sounds like what I want in a high BC - BT not the AB line.
Time will tell I spose
Not holding my breath :)
