I'm just glad You and Mr. Wendy are ok!
Yeah, 50gr of anything in the 4350 class is WAY too much in the 7mm-08!
RL19, might be ok, but i don't reccomend it for the 140gr class of bullets.
If i recall correctly, i was in the 46gr range with IMR4350 & 140gr bullet weight.
But i had reamed mine to AI & had a fairly long freebore (throat).
I was seating to 2.90" and still had 0.020" off the lands.
6,000+ rounds will do that. Lol
I'll look around, i may have some PPU cases.
For being "cheap" cases, i have had very good performance with these in multiple cartridges.
My 7mm-08AI was giving me 6fps ES, and 2fps SD with the PPU cases & Alliant PP2000MR.
As for using the Accubond for larger game.
IF your rifle likes them, it really likes them. IF it doesn't, it really doesn't.
I wanted my rifles to like them. They did not.
Tried different powders, different seating depths, nothing would get them to group decently.
Even though they are the same shape, the Ballistic Tips were extremely easy to get to shoot well.
And they hold together very well.
I get pass throughs on PA white tail.
People use them with good success on elk.
Again, glad your both safe!
