Nosler Accubond performance on big game.
Wanttohuntmore:
I have to say I hope these shoot well in my rifles this year. I like the BC that these have over the Partition, and the price is nice too. With the Partitions I hold about 1 moa, and so far the AB's seem the same. I read some good results with the Barnes ttsx and tsx, but am still reluctant to try them out. I had good and bad experience with the older x bullet. With 5 shot groups where 3 would clover leaf, then 2 fliers 2 inches apart. Made no sense, but that was a re-occuring theme with the x's in all of my loads. I'm hoping the tsx solves those problems.
Gutpile:
The TSX is excedingly accurate in my old 700 30-06. I was floored. They outshoot every load I've ever worked up. Wish I could give an evaluation on performance but I neck shot my deer this year, and at 100-120 yards pretty much every 30-06 load will do what it did.
buckhorn2:
I load 200 grain accubounds for my 300 ultra mag. and 180 accubounds for out 300 weaterby;s and have been really happy with there accuracy and performance.
Red Dawg:
I love the performance of the accubond but I have found that they a best suited to be at max 3200 fps out of the muzzle. Any faster than that they tend to blow up on impact. That is what I have found. I just wish I would have been able to find even one bullet, but shooting a 300 ultra I have not been able to find one yet.
Intruder:
Hard to argue w/ your results. I see no reason to change if I were you (not that you were going to). There are a ton of good bullets out there... Accubonds, Interbonds, Bear Claws, TSX, A-Frames, etc. Once you get a good load developed w/ 1 of these they're all gonna perform pretty well. The only thing even worth debating from what I can see is the weight retention. 70% is decent but I'd personally like to have more. Again though, your shot placement and the end results can't be debated. :twocents:
