7 mm (.284) 168 gr Nosler Accubond LR , 2 new boxes of 100. $60 each. 1 open box of Approx 85 for $48. These prices are slightly less than I paid for them after waiting for a loooong time to find some.

Still available

Hey PAC, did you pull the nock collars out of your ACC's ? How did you do it?

Oracle now but will be in Phx in a few days

Isn't the hunter responsible also to make sure that all of the paperwork is legit and signed properly? I remember several years ago that some hunters were caught at the border because something wasn't signed and they were in serious trouble trying to bring their horns back. Might be tough to get something done if the hunter is in the wrong technically by shooting an animal without a permit. Just kind of thinking out loud and hope it works out for your uncle, Phil!

Sorry, DON'T use isopropyl alcohol, use Denatured alcohol that you get at Home Depot or most hardware stores. The regular isopropyl alcohol leaves a residue on the arrow shaft that will hinder the glue from sticking properly.

I use the blue AZ Ez fletcher for 2" Blazer vanes on ACC 340 shafts. Works great and fast. Just wipe the shaft with isopropyl alcohol to clean it and a good glue to make sure the vanes stick

Looks great on the wall with the rest of the herd. What does that "2 pt" score?

Great to meet you today Phil. Hope that new gun is a shooter!

PM sent, I will take them.

What gas mileage does it get?

rcd, I loaded some of the Ramshot Magnum using 69.5,70.0 and 70.5. I had to back the 168 AB LR's off the lands about .10 to get them to fit in my magazine box. That might have had an affect on the accuracy because it wasn't good at all. I only got 2910 fps with the 70.5 load through my 26" barrel also. I used the same loads using 168 gr Berger Classic hunters and got basically the same results. I used Fed Gold Medal 210 primers. What rifle and length of barrel are you shooting?

Ok, Now I need to find some CCI LR primers.....I have some Win and Fed that I guess I will try if I can't find the CCIs . Also have 500 CCI magnum that I would trade for some.....

rcd, I looked at the Berger ballistic chart and the 168 gr Berger classic hunters that are going 3000fps is almost identical to the 168 gr AB LR going 2950 fps. That will work for me with my turrets so I am going to try your load to see if it works with my gun. You are not using magnum primers, just the CCI large rifle? ( I compared these two bullets side by side and the AB is quite a bit longer so I hope they fit in the Mod 70 magazine.)Thanks!

Thx rcd, what is your load of H1000 to get 3050 fps with the Bergers and is that through a 26" tube? I havn't loaded H1000 yet but have some of it to try. Are you getting better groups with the Ramshot and AB's? I have seen a few people say that the AB LR's aren't as good of BC as Nosler is trying to push with these bullets, if so, that would make it hard to chart their flight. I am also hoping to get a load worked out with them going around 3000fps, but 2950 would be good enough if they are really the BC specs they are said to be. Do you know how far off the lands your pet load is? Is Ramshot a very stable powder in various temperature ranges? I might be looking for some of it..... Hoss, what is the twist of your barrel? I couldn't get 140's to group after yrs of trying and recently found out that I have a 1 in 10 grove and the larger 168 gr bullets are supposed to work better. I am working with these now and hopefully find the ticket soon.

Rcd, what is the fps of your Ramshot loads? Have you worked up any loads using H1000 with the 168 LR Accubonds? I bought some of the 168's also and looking for some recipes to try. Your Coues might be one of the first ones to get smoked by these, Congrats!

Well done Scott. Great write up and pictures of your hunt. Very nice that you had so many friends and family helping and sharing the experience. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Oh yeah, nice shot!

Jim, Awesome that God answered your prayers to have a family. Congrats to you and your beautiful wife. Tough to share such a personal story on the forum but it just shows how much it all means to you and how excited you are. Now we all feel a part of it. May God Bless you all!

That is very rare, congrats and good job on waiting for that special one!

Do you send in the amount of money with the app? What about bear tags, how are they selling those?

got mine at G&F office, not sure if they sell them anywhere else

Anyone know if a non permit tag for 2014 Javy is good for all areas that have over the counter tags, or unit specific ?

Looks like double double main beams on this monster. Very impressive beast.

reduced the price to $1550
