new bullet?

bigbulls · 01-11-2003, 06:57 PM

Just went to the Nosler site and saw a new bullet called Accubond. It's essentially a bonded core ballistic tip. Looks to be promising for those that like the BT but also hunt larger game. I know this is the relosding forum, but I hope they load this in a factory round. I just don't have the time to seriously reload now or in the near future.

Rest assured that Federal or someone will offer that bullet in a premium ammo box soon.....and be prepared to pay for it.....but it may still be better than reloading it!!!!

Your right, nothing beats reloading. It is, however, hard to do much reloading working 6 days and 55 hours each week. Just don't have the time to reload, as much as I would want to.

Bigbulls I used to work 7-10 and still had time for my reloading . The only time I got off was on holidays and not even all of them . Just depends I guess how much you are into reloading .

BigBulls, Hornady is also coming out with a bonded core bullet like the Nosler..

Good Luck!

Sounds like a Scirocco knock-off to me. Hope it shoots better than a Scirocco.

Didn't Speer come out with something like this, too. Isn't the Deep Shock a boattailed bonded core bullet?

If it shoots as good as the ballistic tips do then it will be one heck of a bullet. halcon, I am definetly going to try to get back into reloading this year. You know how it is sometimes trying to split time with work, wife, kids, and everyday home life. My wife thinks I spend too much time on hunting stuff as it is. Though she is slowly liking more and more going shooting with me. If I can just talk her into getting a rifle of her own!

I'm glad to see the major manufacturers heading in this direction. As the magnum cartridges got more popular, the need for tougher bullets has grown too. I know there are folks who dont care if they find a million fragments of a bullet in their deer, but I'm not one of them. I want two holes in my big game, one going in and one coming out.
