Just an fyi. Just purchased 2 boxes of the .308 165gr accubonds. The oal is 20 thousandths shorter than the 165gr accubonds I was working with. Base to ogive was also 20 thousandths shorter. Called nosler. They said 10 to 15 thousandths variation was normal. Mike C. said the engineers changed the bullet. By the way the older accubonds matched the oal they list on their website. I thought the accubonds were a premium bullet, but, if 10 to 15 thousandths variation is "normal", they are not, to me anyway. Y'all can decide for yourself.

After measuring 376 yards distance to a standing elk, then

squeezing off a 130 gr. Accubond from a 270 WSM, the elk

simply dropped on impact.

What a bullet !

The most accurate Bullet I've ever loaded for my 260 Rem., loaded with RL-17 powder and CCI 200 primers, 1/2 inch groups without any adjustment to the loading formula! Haven't hunted with it yet, but within the family we've shot several deer and elk with Accubonds in other calibers and I'm not worried about that performance. Should be a dandy Whitetail and Mulie load.

I shot a small 5x5 elk and a very nice 180 inch whitetail last year with this bullet in a Tikka 695 300 win mag. the bullet groups better than the old school partition that I was using. Both animals were shot in the front shoulder, the elk at 130 yards and the deer at about 200, both knocked down the animal but both then got up and left . I recovered both but it makes for stressful hunting. Accubonds may work really good for some people but I am going back to partitions

I've taken about 10 or 12 head of African game with this bullet (handload @ 2925 fps) since switching over from the Partition the last year or so, including the attached Namibia Orynx. I attached this photo because if you look on the center of the shoulder you'll see the telltale bump of the expanded bullet and these animals are notoriously hard to take cleanly with one shot.



I've come to expect complete broadside penetration up to animals of about 300 pounds or so. Past that invariably a neat mushroom under the far hide.



I've shot a lot of Partitions over the years and frankly will be replacing those pet loads with Accubonds for better ballistics with indistinguishable terminal performance on plains game. The three (160 Accubond) bullets I was able to recover weigh in at 95.6, 110.5 and 111.4 gr, for an average of 66% weight retention.



Accuracy is what you'd expect from Nosler, consistently under half-minute from a solid rest at extended range in an accurate rifle.

Worked up a load for a Remington 700, 300 Win. Mag , with this bullet and it shot .200 3 shot group at 100 yds.

On day twelve at sunset, finally a nice buck appeared exactly 175 yards. Partially hidden by brush which met that I needed to wait for a clearer shot of the shoot over the top of the brush and targeting his upper chest. I found a good rest and sent that white beauty down my .270 Win, Model 70. The deer was down so fast that I didn't see him behind the bush. I friend said that I had hit him solid. Indeed, he never move. The bullet exited with authority.

I have always had the same kind of performance from all on my Nosler's. I have never had to trail a wounded deer with a Partition or Accubond bullet. By the way I am seventy five this year and I am traveling to Kentucky for whitetail in November. I still have ammo from my last hunt, Why should I buy more?

I use the 180 grain in my 300 ultra mag, Haven't had an animal take a step after the shot! I use 81 grains IMR 4350 for the most accurate load.

These are outstanding bullets even at the cranked
up speed of the 25/300 WSM. Penetration is all that can be expected. I have used this bullet extensively in 25 caliber 7STW,300H&H,and 338 Federal. I have never had one fail and penetration was excellent. This last hunting season I shot a 10 point buck just shy of 350 yards. 337 to be exact.
My shot was a little right and the bullet broke the front should and penetrated through and was 3/4 of the way through the heart even after going through thick bone. I will continue to use these
bullets as long as they are made or they come up
with something better.

I have used Accubonds in different calibers for Elk, Pronghorn, Black Bear, Muleys, Mountain Goats and Whitetails with great success. However, I have noticed that this bullet works best past 200 yards. For anything closer than 200 yards I would recomend a Nosler Partition or a Sierra Gameking

This bullet performed perfect in my 7mm-08. I shot a couple of deer with it since I loaded it, as well as several beavers. It is a very accurate bullet, and has a rapid exspansion. It is made to stay together and give you complete pass throughs as well for easier tracking. Don't hesitate, the price is a little higher than some others available, but it is well worth the extra price.

My wife shot a Nilgai at 311 yards using this product, the bullet entered the neck.Then travelled through the chest and stopping under the skin at the let flank. This would be deep penetration at its best.

Looked for a while to find an afforable "bonded quality" bullet for my 325 WSM. Found the right recipe and this bullet groups 5 shots into an inch at 100 yards. Took a moose this weekend and got pass through penetration with the exit hole being roughly 2.5 times the entrance hole. Only went about 30 yards and there was a health blood trail to follow.

This is my new hunting bullet hands down.

The combo of the .338 ultra and the 225 grain accu bond bullet was the medicine that was needed to complete my colorado hunt; we stalked in from 1100 yards out and could not get any closer; 3 of the five bulls had already vanished; with a lot of luck and lots of long range shooting up to 1000yds. the kill was with one shot; the bullet performed perfect; this will be the only bullet that I will use when the shot has to count.

used this bullet for my T-C Contender, 7-30 Waters, 14 inch barrel and was able to hold a half of an inch group at 100 yards

These bullets weigh out very consistent. Almost no variance in weights. Shot my first "1-hole" 5 shot group (at 100 yds)out of a 338 Laupa Magnum. Have not been able to do that with any other bullet. They are "match grade" in my book and as a plus you can even hunt with them!

I used to think that hunters using the .375 H&H for game as small as deer and blaci bear were way over gunned. They were as enthusiastic about their .375's as most local hunters were about their 30-06's. After my first trip to Africa, I found out why they liked the .375 so much. The caliber is flat shooting, hard hitting, and meat damage is much less than lighter magnums with higher velocities. After extensive reload testing, I found The 260 gr. Accu-bond to be my favorite in it's class.

Classified as a premium soft this bullet is in my opinion the best all around African plains game bullet. The partition (Nozler or A-Frame) do a great job. From my experience, these bullets kill just as quickly, shoot flatter and cost a bit less than the A - Frame. I see no problem using them for leopard. Although many might argue, I think it would do very well on a lion.

I took from Impala to Zebra with this bullet in combination with either RL-15 or H-4895 loaded just over 2700 fps. All well placed shots were one shot kills. I hope to soon try it on elk.

Shot a 4x5 blacktail at 75 yards in neck with 3006 reload. Totally grenaded spine. Took a metal detector to head and neck with no frags found. The Ruger 77 loves it at the range.

One shot one big bodied mule deer droped in his tracks in colorado last season. The 200 grain accubond slammed him to the ground, no tracking needed. .
