Anyone using the .277 caliber 165 Accubond LRs?

Hi, I've pretty much decided to have my vintage / beater Weatherby Mark V in 270 Weatherby, rebarreled with a Douglas 1 in 8" twist barrel. Has anyone used the .277 caliber 165g Accubonds? Reviews?

I saw them tested with the 6.8 western in guns and ammo I think it was. Maybe check that.

I’m using the 140 gr 6.5’s in my 6.5 PRC. Very accurate bullet. Only one deer so far but terminal performance was good.

Thanks a 165 Accubond LR at 3150 fps seems like a great elk deer cartridge. I'm using 150g Partitions now, they're an amazing bullet as well.

I’ve used the 150 grain ABLR in a .270 and the 168 gr. ABLR in a 7 mag. Good results. The former on elk, the latter on African PG.

as far as I know, it's a fairly thin jacketed bonded projectile with High B.C. that is in its element on whitetail, mule deer, and caribou(or anything similar sized). But still very capable of taking an elk or similar if needed.
