.338 cal 300gr nosler accubond

Yeah I couldn't afford the brass for a 338-378.   Should be fun to see how these bullets work non the less, good moose round for the 338 win mag I have when I get drawn this year ; )

Here you go! Chamber one of these up in a .338 #2 with the 300gr Accubond. Should make for some interesting bear calling.

I just bought the remington 700 xcr2 in .338rum.  Had a muzzle brake put on and got a McMillan stock.  Bought a Nightforce 5.5-22x50 and think I can get at least 2950 fps out the muzzle.  I was on cabelas website buying some brass when I discovered that they were selling a 300 gr accubond.  I shoot an accubond out of all my guns.  The only reason I bought this .338 rum was to shoot a 300 gr berger but now I can go with an accubond.  I am pumped to see what it can do.

You won't come close to 2950 in a 338rum.  If its a 26" barrel, you might hit 2750.  Even with a 30" barrel it will only get to the 2800 range.  The 338 edge will get it close.  Mine runs the 300 Bergers at 2950.

He will still be faster than a Lapua and that's all that matters.

That I agree with....Not a fan of the 338 Lapua's.  The 338 Lapua Imp now is a little better, but the Edge is still more efficient and cheaper to shoot.

It was just a guess on what I was going to get out the muzzle.  I want a long range bullet so if the 300gr accu is not going to hit hard enough at 600yds than I will look at the 250gr or 225gr accu for more speed.  I am not a fan of blood trails.  I like to shoot and gut.

The 250gr Accubond out of the .338 RUM is going to crush antyhing you point it out to 600 yards , no problem, as will the 300gr.

If you had to pick one for down field energy at 1000yds would it be the 300, 250 or 225 accu?

I think there is a reason people choose heavier for caliber bullets for.long range. They retain energy better and buck wind better. Iwould guess the 300 grain would be faster at 1000 yards than the 225 or 250.
