Default RE: Nosler Accubond Performance on Elk...Any first hand info?

I used the AB for the first time last fall on game and it provided two dead animal (Young Bull Elk and Bull Moose) with complete pass thru's leaving approx. 2-3" exits. The elk was shot around 140 yards broadside and tore the lungs apart putting the elk into a nose dive and dropping in short order. The bull moose was around 100 yards and proved equal performance destroying the vitals and dropping him within 20-30 yards. I used a 7mmremmag with 160 gr version of the AB, previously the Nosler Parts(160gr) worked excellent as well but as you indicated and found the AB showed improved Accuracy over the NP's in my rifle as well so I just had to give them a go. I was very pleased and will be using them again for elk/moose.

Swift Scirocco was the first Bonded Polymer Bullet, then Hornady Interbond and followed shortly by the Nosler Accubond. I tried to get the Swifts but never could get them to fly worth a darn, something I hear many experienced (which might explain for the slow move to this style of bullet). I did also try the Hornady IB's but the Nosler AB bettered it in Accuracy slightly.
