stevemiller - these have the longer boattail and ogive making for a more streamlined shape to perform better at extreme ranges than the typically shorter and squatter bullets. No real meaningful ballistic difference until you get beyond 400yds imo.

I just wish they were making one in a .257 110-115gr for my Weatherby. Bergers have shot well though.thanks for that info,anyone have any load data for these yet.

I'm not going to say much becauase they are already hard enough to find, believe It or not I found 8lb's h1000 and 210 accubond's in the same day. might as well be searching for unicorn's
Have you shot anything with them? How did they perform?

I bought the factory loaded 150lr for my 270wsm didn't shoot well from my gun I have one new box I would trade for a box of the standard accubond if someone wants to try them
Litz tested the 150, and well, it's marginaly stable in a 10 twist tube. Really needs a 9.
I have had "OK" luck getting them to shoot, but something is amiss with them. as I approached 3000 FPS, I was starting to get some fliers.

I have had great results with Nosler Accubonds. I have shot 180 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips out of my 300 Win Mag. for years with great accuracy, but they're not really a great hunting bullet. When Nosler came out with Accubonds, I loaded some up and was pleased to find that they shoot the same as the Basllistic Tips. No problem shooting 1000+ with either and the Accubonds are easier on live venison.this thread is about the accubond long range bullet.

Post by: sirmissalot on February 27, 2015, 11:42:38 AM
I'm used to accubonds holding together, but I realize this bullet is designed to expand at lower velocities (longrange). A 300 yard shot isn't really a good test for a long range bullet, but its a good average or beyond average shot distance, and it absolutely pummeled this bear. The thing I did like is it left enough of the base/jacket of the bullet to continue on through the bear, which has not been the case for me on bergers.
I would still continue trying this bullet out but I just couldn't get it to shoot the way I wanted it to so I'm back to 180's trying to tighten things up a bit. I have some 129's for my 6.5x284 I'm currently using, but am probably making the switch to 140 standard AB's as the 129 LR's have become too hard to find.
Here's a pic of the recovered bullet

The antelope was 410 yards quartering to in some howling wind. I'll tell you what, doping wind with howling gusts in the wide open wyoming prairie is not easy, and to be honest not a shot I should have taken... I waited for a calm in the wind and took the shot but it managed to ear hole him. :bash: He of course was DRT
The blacktail was about 100 yards, just before dark and rushed opportunity, decent framed large bodied deer... turned out to be a two point. Hit him high in the shoulder, DRT but at that distance there was significant shrapnel all over the place and a complete pass through.

It seems nobody has perfected a bullet that's best for all distances. sirmissalot provided some great comments and info, thanks. I have been looking for a long range bullet that will hold together better than the bergers. I'm wondering if other hunters have noticed the same?

I think a lot of people understand this. 3000fps+ is a whole different dynamic than 1800fps-.
One of my better friends has gotten into long range deer hunting with some really good success. He carries a dope book with medium and long range loads. His thought is that beyond 500 yards he is not going to take a quick shot. So he has plenty of time to change the round in his gun. He was shooting Accubonds out to 450 and SST or AMax beyond that depending on what animal he was hunting. He also wanted to test the ABLR but could never find a large enough supply to work up a complete profile so hasn't yet done it. I know he liked the down range accuracy he was getting with the Berger, but he complained about inconsistent results on game. Last years muledeer was 820 something yards with the SST (I'm not sure what weight) out of the 308 Norma. He was quite happy with what he saw.
I believe his longest shot was a Montana whitetail just shy of 1,000 with the A-Max. "Like I injected a grenade in that deer", he said! I'm not sure what the velocity at that range would be, but it would have to be under 1,700, I would think.
Post by: mountainman on February 28, 2015, 06:45:08 PM
exactly Rad! I have been hunting with my 338 Edge long before most here had even heard of the round..bullets react differently at any given range, velocity, impact medium. Twist rate, and many more subtle factors. Back when most of my hunting was with single shot handguns, (mid 70's) we knew that the light varmint bullets, pushed at slower velocities from our 7mm tcu's, Herrets, and BR rounds, performed amazingly well on larger game. Velocity makes a huge difference on how a bullet reacts at impact, as Sirmissalots experience shows. Appreciate him sharing some real world, first hand views.It seems nobody has perfected a bullet that's best for all distances. sirmissalot provided some great comments and info, thanks.

:yeah: I started doing that with coyotes, I had three loads for my 257 roy, what I used depended on distance.
100 gr loaded 3000 fps
100 gr loaded 3300 fps
75 hpbt loaded 4000 fps
I still load more than 1 bullet for most of my guns, but always looking for that "more perfect" bullet! :chuckle:

I looked into this quite a bit, and it seems like everyone is preaching the same thing. True BC is exaggerated anywhere from 5 to 10 percent under Noslers numbers.I am still in load development stage so I can not personally comment on how accurate Noslers numbers are. When I get a good load worked up and can push them out to distance I should know more. I'm a horrible shot though so even then I probably won't have accurate data :chuckle:FYI.

You can see that it starts high as speed is high but as it slows so does the BC. Many BC's are tested in perfect conditions, Bryan tested these in controlled conditions at sea level then at 2000ft(of I remember corectly) and again at 5000ft. Pic is for the 210 lrab It also shows in the graph how using the g1 bc for this bullet (secant ogive) will really throw your charts off.
Strongly recommend this book and applied ballistics for long range shooting. These books have really taught me a lot!

I really like the idea of those MagnetoSpeed chronys for speed but have to wonder about accuracy testing while using them. Speed is easily quantifiable but barrel stresses are less so; having that thing hanging off the barrel could likely have a big effect on bullet accuracy or POI.. I chrony'd 6 rifles today and I can tell you without a doubt, it does NOT effect accuracy. It does effect point of impact. Everything was several inches high.

Dude if that thing is grouping like that I'd just dial it and run. You might see if someone has some h4831c the wsm. and 190 grain is nosler ticketI know one guy who I think would have some. I shot him a text to see if he would let me burn some or maybe trade for some. I'm gonna try and up the fps a bit with the 4350 first and see if the accuracy holds.

Round two was a success! 5 shot group @100yds! The flyer was my last shot and 100% my fault! Too many rounds down range and I was getting flinchy. These were seated to 2.935" which is .015" off the lands! When I get home I will put the calipers on the target. I have to single feed these though. They averaged 2,788fps. I need to milk about 40fps more out of them so I can shoot them with my 180's. We shall see how it works.

that may very well be but his hornady info on my bullet is spot on with what I verified my self :dunno: it's working for me :tup:FYI. Advertised BC's are not accurate
210gr lrab
G1 BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT 0.730
G7 BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT 0.366
According to Bryan litz's new book "ballistic performance of rifle bullets"
G1 .647
G7 .332
So if that is true it sucks, how do we know what claims we can trust? :dunno:
And Litz's collects a check from Berger bullets. Rocket scientist or not, I've spoke with the man, he rides for the brand(Check). ;)

Its completely stock too :chuckle:Round two was a success! 5 shot group @100yds! The flyer was my last shot and 100% my fault! Too many rounds down range and I was getting flinchy. These were seated to 2.935" which is .015" off the lands! When I get home I will put the calipers on the target. I have to single feed these though. They averaged 2,788fps. I need to milk about 40fps more out of them so I can shoot them with my 180's. We shall see how it works.
Interesting note, my first test group was .025" off the lands with the same powder charge and a bit over an inch.
NO WAY! Those Reminton's can't shoot! ;)
Nooooo! Say it isn't so! There is no way a stock Remington 700 can shoot without 2K in custom gunsmith work. Well, at least I've heard a few clowns spew :puke: of such. :tup:

It's even a newer one! I don't believe it. True story would come out if he showed us the rest of the target :chuckle: :chuckle:
