338-378 Wby or 338 Ultra will be a great basement for that bullet

If it truly is a .720 BC, then it will be a dandy.  I have a small handful in route to test out.

I was told  you need my help in testing those, so I'll expect to see 1/2 of them.

Wow!  Talk about long range capabilities!!!!  Plus the hitting power of a 300 gr. bullet..... I may have to build a new rifle just to shoot these bad boys!  Talk about a bulletgasm   :chuckle: :chuckle:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I like it!!! I'm glad to see that somebody is going to make a true 300gr LR hunting bullet. The 300gr MK works, but I'm still not convinced that it's a good hunting bullet.

I'm just as interested in the 200gr 35cal Accubond. That's exactly what the 358 Win needed!

Be interesting to see what you guys think of it after testing.
I have no complaints with the MK's performance on animals and with a BC of .768 I don't know if I would be ready to dropped down to a Nosler with a .720?
Do you know if it's a true .720? I know when Berger first was coming out with their 300 grain .338 they were claiming a BC of over .9!
I think they have dropped that down to a .818 now but that still whoops up on the MK pretty good!
I was reading about rumors of "nose slump" with the new Bergers, but turns out that was only out of the .338 super mags like the Lapua improved.
Sounds like the 300 grain Berger may be the way to go for us guys shooting the Weatherby, Edge , Rum .338's
One of my buddies just switched from the MK's to the Berger and said he is getting 12" less drop at 1020Y with the same zero out of both rounds.
I know I deff want to give the Bergers a try! Might have to test the Nosler too though.

 :yeah:
It will be interesting to see what the B.C. really ends up.

I love the 160s in my 7 mag , but it is not a long range rig.

What do you think the minimum impact velocity would be for these bullets to perform correctly?  I thought I remember hearing that the accubonds need speed to expand.
