Default RE: What Long Range Bullet?

The Ballistic coefficient on the Sierra is basically the same(slightly higher) than the Accubond. The BC is .538 for the Sierra.
That being the case,and the fact that the accubonds can be driven faster,result in the accubond shooting flatter and having less wind drift.

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 tip has been the most consistantly accurate bullet in my rifles,bar none.The accubond in general shoots just as accurate as the ballistic tip.

You will find a good load that will shoot this bullet.
Not necessarily,some rifles will just not shoot certain bullets well.My own 7mm rifles did not shoot 175gr bullets as well as lighter bullets.
