Todd do you know what the twist rate is on your rifle? The older ones like mine are 1:14 to stabilize the 85gr bullets to get the advertised 3000fps. A 1:8 or 1:10 is better suited when using the 100-115gr bullets esp the longer ones like the NBT or Barnes TTSX. I have some old Sierra 100gr soft points that are very short and will try them also I found some old Nosler Partitions 100gr that I have managed to work up loads for that will deliver one inch groups @ 100yds.

I have been a fan of the NBT since they came out esp in 25cal. My 257 WBY and a 115gr NBT is my go to rifle for Antelope. I have been playing with the Accubonds in 110gr and shot a whitetail using that bullet in a 257 Roberts and performance was exceptional and meat damage was minimal when compared to the NBT. I'm going to try them in the 25/06 and the 257 WBY. 140 rgain Accubonds will be the first bullet I try in the new 275 Rigby.
