Blueprinted savage short action from a model 11 hog hunter 308. Custom recoil lug, krieger 28" 9 twist 5r with threaded muzzle and spiral flutes by Kampfeld. Rifle basix sav 1 trigger. Accurate mag bottom metal and dbm. Manners t3 stock. 20 moa base and warne rings. Bushnell 6500 6-24x50 G2DMR FFP. Tacops shell holder. This gun has run 25 rounds so far and we hit 3200fps with the 150gr nosler accubond long range at 2.956" and 55 gr of IMR 4350. Loose primer pockets at 56 gr but the speed was 3257. Accuracy was excellent around 3150 and 54 grains. I'm very proud of this build because of the velocity reached and the accuracy. Hopefully I can run the 168 bergers north of 2950 if the 150 ablr doesn't pan out. Fingers crossed!







 
What size groups did you end up getting out of the AccuBond LR's? Have any pictures by chance? I have a short action .284 also and I'm really interested in this bullet. Thanks!

It can hold half to 5/8 moa to a grand. They're super accurate just not a competition bullet. I haven't any pictures. I ended up trading them all for Berger classic hunter 168. They're a proven .308g7. The 150 ablr just gets pushed around in the wind too much.

Thanks for the info. I am currently running the 168 classic hunters in my rig. In fact, I just received 200 in the mail today.

Funny that wind is much of an issue even with that light bullet...considering the high BC and really high velocity that you're getting. The 150 @ 3150 does better out to 1k than the 168 @ 2850.
