I’ve got a 165 grain Accubond load for this rifle and confirmed my drops today. I’ll either take the 308 or my 7-08 on my next elk hunt. They’re both dialed in and ready to go. Just waiting on a tag. 😎 83% of all statistics are made up.

Those are supposed to perform at a lower velocity than the 165s. I’ve never used them, but they seem interesting, especially, at 308 type velocities. 83% of all statistics are made up.
