Produces a zippy 2780fps in a KSA 24” inch tube. This slippery load holds 1800fps at 820 yards.
5-shot group results:
ES: 25
SD: 9.6
After multiple 5- shot groups off bench rest, I conclude that accuracy is from 0.5-0.9MOA.
129 Long Range Accubond over Varget produced my lowest ES/SD at 9/3.6, but group size was in the 1.5MOA range. Velocity was 2864fps.
I went for accuracy and velocity over statistics. If I ever shot at extreme long range, I would be more focused on a load with both great accuracy, velocity and low SD/ES.
If you want speed, shoot the LRAccubond over RL17. I got them up to 3061fps! (Disclaimer: start low and work your way up...)

For target shooters,pushing to the limit may be neccessary.Not the case for hunters.Field ready--To take down animals at ranges were the chance of wounding is limited,I have let animals go that I didnt feel confident of a humane kill.The hornady 143eldx 6.5 creedmoor, at 2600 fps gets the job done.
