Have my barrel.
Dies are on truck with 180 grn accu bonds.
Nosler site has some load info.
Anyone have any recipies for the 180 acc bond thay want to share?

I think that most folks with this caliber prefer heavier bullet weights than 180. I use primarily 210-225gr. Maybe a good place to start would be with the 8mm-06/338-06 load book.

Is that an ackley chamber? If not, that's a pretty speedy load for a standard 338-06. Is that a book load? If so, where did you get the data? I can't touch 2800fps with a 210gr bullet.

As luck would have it I have 4 boxes loaded right now... (My build was on a Rem 700, Douglas bbl, 'Standard' A-square chamber).

180gr accubond, 55gr Varget, seated 3.390"
215gr gameking, 53gr RL15, seated 3.340"
250gr partition, 61gr H4831, seated 3.330"
225gr TSX, 51gr RL15, seated 3.360"

A couple of those are max in my rifle. Start 2 or 3 grains lower and work up.

The accubond is a tough bonded bullet. Sure, folks use heavier loads in this round, but it will get the job done.
