175 grain Sierra GameKing Spitzer Boattails.

This bullet has the same BC as your Accubonds for almost 1/2 the price. It has been my experience(over 35 years of reloading) that Sierra's on average will outshoot Nosler's. With the exception of the Ballistic tip bullet's. But the Ballistic tip's will not outshoot the Sierra's.

The Ballistic coefficient on the Sierra is basically the same(slightly higher) than the Accubond. The BC is .538 for the Sierra.

IMO this is how you should go about it. I would buy 500 bullets, and separate them by weight. I am assuming you want accuracy at 500 yards. Work up your loads with the bullet's that are not the exact weight. Make sure they weigh the same so that accuracy potential is not affected. I sort by .1 grain for my 30 caliber's. You should have three or four piles of bullet's. And a few will be outside that box-save them for the barrel burner after a good cleaning.

Take your time and work up your load. You will find a good load that will shoot this bullet. You will also save alot of money-the bullet's do not cost as much, but I guarantee you they are every bit as good as any of your other choices-if not better.

After you have found your load you should shoot a target every 100 yards. Zero your rifle at 100 yards. Shoot your rifle at 200, 300, 400, and then 500 yards. Shoot 5 shot groups, then measure the amount of drop at each distance. This is the best way to know exactly what your bullet's are doing. This isthe pertinent informationthat will be needed to calibrate your scope.

BC's can vary greatly. So velocity and BC may not give an accurate indication of your bullet's drop. However if you measure your bullet's drop, then the velocity and BC become irrelevant. And a ballistician can calculate your velocity and BC from this information. If you want to know. Then check their velocity against your chrono. Tom.
