Default RE: Bullet Question

I have also experienced great results with the Nosler Accubonds. I loaded some 160gr with RL19 powder for my Rem. 700 in 280 Remington. The accuracy was remarkable as well as bullet performance. I harvested a 1000# Canadian moose at about 60 yards, one shot kill, the animal never took one step( high shoulder shot). I recovered the bullet and it retained 69% of it's weight, which I consider quite satisfactory performance considering the velocity and shot distance.Previously I was using 139gr Hornady BTSP for deer size game, but never was impressed with the accuracy out of that bullet, although the performance was acceptable.I have heard from several friends that shoot 280 Rem. that they have also found the heavier bullets are also more accurate in their rifles. Hope this info helps!

For what its worth, my experience with the Nosler Accubonds and the Swift Sciroccos has been the opposite - very good accuracy and stellar terminal performance. What caliber are you planning to load? I guess I should assume 30/06 from your moniker.
