Haha. Yep, Nosler said they could have some to me by mid Febuary. :tup:
I'm going to work loads up with the 160gr Accubond in my latest long range 7mm WSM build before I even try any of the heavier match bullets. Which if they shoot, like they usually do. ;) I'll just stick with them and call it good.

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.

Welli feel like a kid you got a game boy instead of an x box. :'(. How do you think they will perform in a little 338 win mag? Is that powerful enough to see these bullets really perform?
Oh yes they will preform very well in any of the 338's the only thing is with the plain 338 wm you wont be able to get the huge fps to really push those bullets way out there. For hunting with it and shots around the 200 yard mark it will be great in your gun. Probably even out to 300 yards you will just start to get a lot of drop from it.

He will still be faster than a Lapua and that's all that matters. :chuckle: :tup: :IBCOOL:

Yep maybe it's time to start looking for a new rifle ; ). I'd sure like a 338-378 to try these in!
I would look into a edge if you are gun shopping. Don't get me wrong I love my 340wby and will not probably buy another 338 cal rifle but If I was going to it would probably be a edge :tup:

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. :)

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.
