I have used the accubonds since they came out in my 300 wby and in my 30-378 and have had great results with them but have been told by some that I should shoot 200 grain in the 30-378 but the 180s have worked fine.

I used 250 nosler partitions in my 338 win mag for over 30 years. I have switched to 225 accubonds. They are a little more accurate for longer range shooting and kill just as well as partitions.

They are solid bullets and have never let me down. They do a little more meat damage then some of my other bullets but have great killing power.

shooting the 150 grain ABLR out of my 270 winchester.

myself and others have noted some issues if pushed over 3000FPS. There is one instance of going sideways and keyholing at 100 yards when pushed out of a 270 Allen Mag.

This makes sense as the factory Nosler 270 WSM ABLR loads are under 3000FPS...

I have tested them to 1000 yards at 2850 FPS, and the published BC seems to hold up at that velocity...but other velocities??? well, I cant answer that.

Accuracy at long range??? Well, there is much more than the bullet that plays into that...shoot, the factory Winchester Ballistic Silvertips are good to go out of my rifle at 700 yards...

I shoot the 165gn Accubonds from my Savage/Stevens .308 and love them.  They are without a doubt my gun's favorite load.  I managed to pick up 5 boxes at Cabelas shortly after they opened for $14/box.  They were supposed to be $41/box and someone misprinted the price tag.  They rung up $41/box but Cabelas honored the price on the shelf :IBCOOL:  Sadly, I'm now down to just under a box. :(

I shoot the 200 grain accubonds in my 300wm's and the 110 grain in my 25-06. I love them. And they perform wonderfully on elk and deer.

I use the 140gr Accubond in my .270win. My 2011 cow elk dropped like a rock from one, well placed shot behind the shoulder. The bullet went clear threw. I have killed quite a few deer using this load and the bullets work exceptionally well. I have never found a bullet, every animal I have shot with the Accubond has been a pass threw.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

I have killed a couple animals with the 180 grain accubond out of my 30-06 at 2800 fps.  I hit a deer at 40 yards, thing went through and through, with a pretty good wound.  I also shot an elk at 400 yards a couple years ago, elk dropped in his tracks, I spined him.  My shot was a little high, but it was high angle as well.  But the damage was extensive, I think the bullet changed path when it hit the spine because it came out about 12" low of the spine through the rib cage.  My father in law shoots a 200 grain out of a 300 win mag at about 2900 fps.  This year he dropped an elk at 800 yds in its tracks.  Elk was facing down a steep hill, quartered toward us.  Bullet entered in front of the spine between the front shoulders and exited through the far shoulder.  Pretty good wound, fairly large exit wound if I recall, (don't quite remember because I was hoofing it out to get packboard and take gear back while he was dressing.)

Accubond is a premium bullet that also happens to look great w/ the plastic tip (that is said to help with long range accuracy as it doesn't get deformed like the lead tip of a partition).  I just wish they were cheaper!

I am also a satisfied 180 grain .300wm customer. Shoots great and results on deer have been perfect so far. I've never elk hunted with a rifle so I can't comment on that.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Love them. They make a nice pop when they hit.  :tup: I've killed deer, bear and antelope with them in my 260.
