Thread: New Nosler Accubond lineup for Long Range shooting

See if your rifle likes the 150g Nosler Ballistic Tip, -they drop deer with authority!!

Thanks, I have some of those so will give them a whirl and see how I go. Esp if they kill well

Only used the .270's.
The B.C seems close to what Nosler stated from what I can tell, though I've only shot them out to about 900 yards on steel so far.
They have killed well, but still to recover one.
Furthest kill was 720 on a chamois and closest about 30 yards on a goat.
Have no complaints on terminal performance so far but looking forward to recovering one!
Took this buck today and photo is of the exit wound...my first NZ wild fallow...a 140 yard free standing shot :-)
They are still doing 1750fps at 1000 yards from my rifle, so with Noslers stated minimum opening velocity of 1300fps, they should have plenty of expansion at the ranges I'm happy hunting out to.

a decent review on the 210 30 cal, looks like bc is about that of 208 amax. Expansion at distance looks promising.

Unfortunately, expansion pics from into dirt
Havnt seen any pics recovered from an animal yet - seem to all exit like the old ABs

To be expected with a bonded bullet tho I would have thought,Im still yet to recover a 130gr ttsx they even penetrate the full length of wap crosses.
