Nosler AccuBond LR

[bench]

Anyone have any Idea on how far from the lands Nosler AccuBond LR (long range) like to jump or jam.
Starting my OCW load testing on a new 308 build for a hunting rifle and for those of you shooting this bullet this could help with a starting point
Thanks

I use the Nosler AccuBond LR bullets in my 7x57. I get excellent results touching the lands. When I develop a load I typically start at the lands and move back. If I get acceptable results on the lands I just leave it there.

150g liked a .120 jump in the 7 mags

175g liked to just barely be off the lands

LOL
You guys are all over the map.
Guess I will just do it the old fashioned way and search from touching to .120 off.
Just never seems to be a easy starting point.
Thanks Guys

Ive had best luck jumping a long ways. I make them mag length max oal to start then go in from there

Use them in 264 WM, 256 Newton and 6.5x55. All of them like to jump. .05-.1 . I usually start them at .05 and move out.

Which 6.5x55 rifle do you have?

I have a Steyr, and there is no way I can even get a 6.5x6 foot barge pole to get near the lands without it falling out of the case neck.

I bought a pack of 142gr LR's for my Swede today and was told they were not sensitive to seating depth - I really hope the salesman was right... Seems the european Swedes at least are chambered for the surplus military 160gr spears, leaving me with a problem in bullet choice - no secants for me...

Hi Hunter67, would you mind sharing the COAL of your load?

Thx!

Ahh, custom barrel then... But your chamber will be "original"? Not sure if the Winchester chambers have shorter throats, or is that dependent on the barrel?

For my Swede its 3.030

piie, when I first loaded the rounds, they were .1 off the lands.
