Moose: I load the Accubonds for both my 308 and 7mm Rem. Mag. Outstanding for deer and elk.

My brother reloaded Accubond for his 338 for deer last year and I have to say there was no problem and I don"™t think it would be a problem for larger game...

my hunting buddy used the accubonds in his 300 REMUltra and he shot a moose last fall at 500yrds with it. Had to go up and give a follow up to finish but it seemed to work well

The Accubond is a great bullet. I harvested a 1000# Canadian moose with a 160 grain Accubond out of my .280 Remington. The shot was about 50 yards, one shot kill high through the shoulders, the moose never took one step. I recovered the bullet in the skin on the opposite side 70% weight retention, which I consider very good considering the distance. I forgot to mention the most accurate bullet I've loaded thus far. Give them a try!

The Accubond is designed to give the terminal performance of Nosler'sPartition Jacket bullet, and the in-flight ballistics of the Ballistic Tip. In other words, you can use the Accubonds on any game that you can use the Nosler Partition Jacket bullet for, and they will shoot a little flatter to boot!

Essentially the best of both worlds......... Additionally, they seem extremely accurate in most people's riifles.

1. Fully tapered, heavy alloy jacket is bonded to the special lead alloy core through a proprietary process designed for controlled expansion, deep penetration and 60-70% weight retention.
2. Totally concentric, impact extruded jacket bonds completely to the bullet core for extreme accuracy.
3. The AccuBond bullet's polymer tip resists deformation in the magazine and initiates expansion upon impact.
4. Nosler Solid BaseĀ® design jacket base acts as a platform for large diameter mushroom.
5. Ballistically engineered Solid BaseĀ® boat tail configuration combines with the streamlined polymer tip for extreme long range performance.
