I load the 180 gr Noslar BT and Accubond with 74 grs R22 for 2960 fps out of my Tikka 300 Win Mag. Both bullets have the same BC of .507 and appear to be identical in shape but one is bonded the other cup and core. I have found they shoot the same so if I need a tough bullet I use the Accubond and the Ballistic Tip for anything else. Magazine length limits me to the Noslar bullets, I would like to try the 200gr ELD-X but would need to load single shot. Might try the 178gr ELD-X soon as they have a higher BC of .535. Probably load the 178gr bullet with AR 2213 SC to about 3000 fps when I change over.
