Nosler Versus

[Coasthunterjay]

which is better and what really is the difference?

i want to go with a 150 grain....but the accubond only goes to 140.....

what is the performance differance between the nosler ballistic and the nosler accubond.

[bobcat]

Accubond will stay together, Ballistic Tip won't.

[Coasthunterjay]

what about the silver tip?

For deer I use the 140 partition with great success, just another one for you to consider

FOR DEER.........i need something for bear, elk, and deer......

[huntnphool]

both of these were dropped with one shot each using 140gr. Federal Premium Nosler Partitions a day apart, do you still have doubt?

[Coasthunterjay]

i have always used ballistics, no doubt, but what i trust....but know i have seen alot of extra info on the ilver tips, accubond and regular ballistics, and i am a big nosler fan so that is what i want to stick to.....

does anyone know which would be the most accurate, long range hard hitting of the three....i think i am leaning towards the silvertips.......maybe accubond 140s...


can anyone tell me what the differance would be with shooting a 140 and a 150 grain bullet at either long range or short.......? Whats are the benefits.

[bobcat]

The Partitions will work for anything, so will the Accubond. Go with whichever one shoots best in your rifle. You might also try the Barnes TSX.

CHJ, just to give you an idea, that elk was dropped with the one shot at 280 yards, the deer at about 80

[bobcat]

You haven't said what cartridge you're shooting these out of? I'm guessing 270? Either way, 140 or 150 won't make much difference. With the Ballistic Tips I'd go with the heaviest available, so 150's, since they won't stay together. Now the Silver Tips, I believe they are no different than the Ballistic Tips, performance wise, they're just a different color.

[huntnphool]

Oops, it is a Ruger 7mm

[Coasthunterjay]

I shoot a .270

can anyone tell me what the real differance between a higher grained bullet is.....

[bobcat]

The heavier weight bullet will have a higher ballistic coefficient than the lighter bullet, meaning it is more aerodynamic. Being heavier, it will start out slower, but will also lose velocity slower. Your 150 grain bullet will have a muzzle velocity of about 200 feet per second less than the 130, but at 500 yards the difference will be less than 100 fps. The difference in drop at long range is negligible...only about 3 inches less drop for the 130 grain at 400 yards when both are zeroed at 200 yards. For elk it only makes sense to go with a heavier bullet, for deer it doesn't make a bit of difference, IMO. If you're using a really good bullet like a Barnes TSX then you'll be just fine with the 130 even for elk because they retain about 90% of their weight, whereas the Partition generally only retains about 65%. It's really just a matter of personal preference. No animal is going to know the difference between a 130 and a 150 out of a 270. And, obviously, the difference between a 140 and 150 is even less. As I said before, go with whatever shoots the tightest groups in your rifle.

THANKS A BUNCH............

Know you answered that question, so do you know what the big difference between a Nosler Ballistic, Accubond, And silvertip is?

i heard that you can get even better results from the silvertip than either the accubond and the ballistic......any opinions or actual knowledge?

I shoot a 700 rem in .30-06. I also shoot the Federal Premium High Energy with the Nosler partition in 180 gr. I just like the heavier bullet, it's great for Bear, Deer, Elk, Moose, etc.. The 140 gr is just fine if you hit it in the sweet spot as is 150 gr., I just prefer the more smackdown power of the heavire slug. I shot a coyote last deer season at 400 yrds and dropped it in its tracks. I also shot my buck last year at 200 yrds and it never moved out of its bed. so it's really up to you   My dad shoots a .270 and has for ever and killed many animals with it. It just comes down to what you are comfortable with, they all will work just fine
