Remington Premier Accutip

I've had lots of luck with Accutips in 243 in a Browning BAR. It's that gun's favrotie load even over handloads that I have tried.
 
here is a group out of the an Icon with 95gr .243 Remington AccuTips.
I have had real good luck wih them and .270 as well.

Same bullet as the Nosler balistic tip. Just different colored. My experience in the past, I won't use them on anything bigger than a coyote now, is that they drop deer where they stand but the animals normaly kick around trying to get back up. Also it looks like a grenade went off inside the animal which makes for a messy/stinky field dressing chore. There has been to much of an internal dynamite affect on all the whitetails I have shot with it in the past causing the stomach and waste contents to "explode" and the smell stays in the meat. I switched to the Core-locts. It may not be as sexy as the BTs, but its harder and stays together better and anchors anything in its path. I have shot deer with 180g BTs at close range and have had several not break or penatrate shoulder bone. Core-locts blow right through both shoulders every time.

Actually, the Accutip Varmint bullets are Hornady V-Max bullets. The .243 75 gr. version of the Accutip is exceptionally accurate in my experience. Pure poison on coyotes too, not hide friendly, but absolutely devastating in the .243 Winchester cartridge.
 
GC is exactly right, and as usual, Doltimatepred has his information skewed.

The AccuTip is a Hornday SST and the AccuTip V is a Hornady V-Max.
 
If they are Vmax, they good. I use them out of my 223 with great results. I called remington a few years back and they informed me they were using Noslers. Lonny you must be a Nosler lover and you probably drive a Chevy too. God, I have never delt with so many cry babies on this site. He asked for an opion and I gave it. So many people take affence when you bash their "love of God" bullet. I am so sorry, can you ever forgive me????
 
Just trying to help the guy out who asked the question, and stop you from spreading bad information which you are very good at.
 
Thank god there are people like you who know everything to correct the less fortunate ones like me. Maybe you can write a book for me with all correct information. Better yet, get it published, you could be millionaire. I'm glad you follow me but I have never heard of you. I give up, you win, your the man. I'm going hunting instead of sittting here in front of my computer all day.

Nice group what sort of rifle did ou shoot it with?
 
The picture tells you what he shot the group with - a T/C Icon bolt action .243 w/95 gr. Accutips, 3-shots at 100 yards.

Here are three shots from my Browning BAR Lightweight Synthetic carbine in .243 with the 75 gr. Accutip. She'll do it everytime with this load if'n I squeeze just right. BTW, the bullet info (V-Max) is right on the box.

Thanks and nice groups with that Browning BAR Lightweight.
 
I shoot Remington accutip ammo in my .223 and my .30-06. My CZ .223 prefers the 50 grain over the 55 grain accutips.

I have a box of 150 grain accutips for my .30-06, although I will probably stick with my 150 grain core lokt ultras for deer. I shot 150 grain accutips, 150 grain core lokt ultras, and 125 grain managed recoil loads last year at the same target to see how they performed at 100 yards. I was suprised to see my rifle grouped them all well, with very little change in point of impact. However, the managed recoil really start to fall off fast down range.

Anyway, the accutips are accurate but I'm sticking with the core lokt ultras for bigger game.
 
The green Accutip is manufactured for Rem by Hornady (or so I've read). Shot some 40 gr. in my .204 Ruger and they did about 1.25" groups not bad, but my reloads are much smaller, and less expensive.
