225grain Accubond Bullet Performance

What load are you using?

Rick
I'm using noslers load of 60.5 grains of Varget behind the 225gn accubonds MV 2850fps chronoed out of my 25inch barrel.
A powder that I found works extremely well in the Whelan is cfe223. Speer reloading site list 61 to 64grains behind the 250gn Speer hotcore for close on 2700fps, I get just over. The same change behind the 225gn woodleigh gives me a chronoed velocity of 2950fps calculated muzzle energy of these loads is 4,000 to 4,300 fps. Turns the Whelan into a whole different beast.
WORK UP ALL LOADS FROM MINIMUM AND CHECK THE WEB SITES FOR LOADS LISTED
These loads were safe in my rifle but work up watching for pressure problems
CFE223 slower than Varget and re15 and a bit quicker than H4350 making it ideal for the Whelan. Check out a burn rate chart.
