260 AB doing 2835. 50 yards into 2.5 gal chem jugs stacked so I'm shooting into the narrow edge. Gives me a little over 10" per jug. The plastic is pretty thick. The 260 AB did three jugs and dented the backside pretty good. For comparison my 280ai with a 160 ab did two and a half and my 338wm did 2 with a 225 AB.


Retained 183 gr. And opened up to. 81". Pretty dang impressive.

Very impressive, Jake. I believe that would work for about any game you wished to pursue.

 

[jmad_81]

I have to agree. Now i want a box of the 300gr AB to compare them against!

Guy you do realize that your 220 gr. Partition in your little old 30-06 just went into 7 jugs the same as your 375 H&H! :grin: Oh my isn't that 30-06 something!! It just keeps proving itself over and over again! I'm mighty impressed with you guys and these 375's. They are beasts!

That is the reason I pack the 338/35's.. They have a solid affect on stuff!

I launched a few 260 ABs at our 800 yard gong for the heck of it this last weekend. Got pretty dang close (within a foot or two) for just holding elevation and letting it rip. Recovered a few from the drit. MOST IMPRESSIVE!!! I'll get pics up tonight.

Nice, spin that dial Jake! I think your Leupy might have enough in it to get out there!

Here they are 211gr. and 216gr. Widest point is a .65". A 160 AB in-between them for comparison.
Pretty impressive if you ask me.

 

[SJB358]

Very impressive! Those look like winners!

 

[onesonek]

Hmmm, ,,,,,,,
I just wonder what that would do velocity wise in the 375JDJ 22" barrel

 

[LD375]

Very impressive Guy!...That's my go to bullet for 375 H&H too 8) ...That's a smack down, pain train load for sure..Lou

 

[Guy Miner]

Cool. I hope it works out well at the range and in the field for you. Even though I have a mess of other bullets for the .375 (several hundred) I have no problem buying these Nosler 260's. They're a real good bullet for my uses with this rifle.

 

[Guy Miner]

Recovered from bear.

 

[FOTIS]

Nice. They are great bullets

 

[DrMike]

Clearly, the AccuBond worked as designed. Great confidence builder to see the pictures, Guy.

 

[Guy Miner]

Same bullet, from that 2013 bear hunt. 218 grains, .73" wide.

Now, if I could just find more of these 260 gr .375" Accubonds. They're scarce!

That looks very good, I still think the 260 gr AB is one of the best all around bullets in the 375 H&H and Ruger, I liked what they did on grizzly and black bear when I still had the 375 Ruger.

That's a pretty serious hole. Hope you can find more of them, I will keep my eyes out for you Guy.. Probably wouldn't hurt to stash a few on my shelf in case I ever find a wayward 375 needing a home in the future. :mrgreen:
