Default 7mm 140 grain Accubond will soon be available

140 Grain Accubond will soon be available per Midway... Surprised that Nosler didn't introduce this sooner..will have to compare it with a partition of same weight on some willing whitetail next year .

I will be waiting to try them as well. I would like to see a 120 grain as well.

I'm curious to hear how everyone likes them. I like waiting til the new wears off items and all the reply's come back. If its worthy it will stick around. Looking at the diagram of the bullet it looks like a very nice game bullet.

Some hunters look on the partition as failing if the front part comes off. This is not really true as the breakup of the nose causes great tissue damage. Bonding the front core may be the answer to a problem that really didn't exist. However this move sure can't hurt . I think they will be a great bullet. In my expierence Nosler does not take backward steps.

I am not sure Nosler partition is taking a step back (into 2nd place) either but it is good internal competition which in turn serves you and I better and offers another great bullet

I know already I'll be switching to the Accubond this year in my 7mm. Now I have to choose between the 140g and 150g. Thanks a lot Nosler

My bad. In the 7mm (.284") they offer 140g and 160g Accubonds. I think I'll go with the 160 since I hunt Elk and Deer and Bear. I can't wait to try them out.
