Seating depth on the accubond LR's

[freebird63]

I got lucky today and picked up a box of 7MM/168gr AccuBond LR bullets. Are these bullets like the bergers and need to be seated into the lands or close too???

Most posts say no. I'm starting my 270 and 708 at. 020-.030". I've seen several successful starts at this dimension by people running the ablr.

In my Sako 75 with a box mag, I'm probably out .130+ and they (.277 150gn) group OK.

I can't comment about your particular bullet, - but ordinary AB's work well in my rifle at .045" from the lans.

I am with ET and Kraky on this. I think they are shooting better further from the rifling than right up on there. Don't have any real good loads for AB's that are tight on the rifling.
