Default RE: Accubond review

Thanks for the update jjt.

I shoot a Browning A-Bolt in .300 Winchester Magnum. My pet load is the 200 grain version of the Nosler Accubond propelled by 80.5 grains of H1000 for a mv of 3000 fps.

I was fortunate to have a couple of real on game experiences with the bullet as well.

1. 4x4 Mule deer buck at approximately 75 yards. Hit him right where the head meets the neck. Obviously full penetration. Exit hole about the size of a half dollar. Spine where impacted was crushed and pulverized.


2. 5x5 Bull elk (probalby just a 2 1/2 year old). Approximately 50 yards quartering towards me. Hit him right on the ball joint on the onside shoulder. Bullet crushed the shoulder leaving bone pulp and fragments. Bullet continued in through the rib cage leaving a hole about the size of a quarter, and took out one lung. I found the bullet in the body cavity while dressing it out. When I get a picture of it I will post. It weighed 114 grains for a retained percentage of 57%. A little lower than what Nosler advertises but not at all disappointing considering the test it was put through.

I am extremely impressed with what I have seen of these bullets thus far.

Go to this page on the AR site to see pictures and the rest of the story.

Thanks.
