accubond and silver CT ballistic tip

CT Silver Ballistic tip Winchester ammo.... is this bullet the same as AccuBond bullets?

I shot 130 grain Winchester supreme ammo with the CT Silver Ballistic Tip and it was right on at 300 yards, without touching my scope.

The CT Silver B-Tip is a Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet with a different colored tip and a special Lubalox coating put on by Winchester.

Ok... so the ballistic tip Nosler bullet... what's the difference between the Nosler AccuBond and the Nosler ballistic tip? The only difference I see is the Game class it's recommended for. What other difference is in the constuction?

The AccuBond is a bonded core bullet. In other words the lead core is essentially welded to the jacket. In addition, the AccuBond may have a little thicker jacket in some calibers and weights. Other then that, they are very similar.

The AB is a bonded core bullet. The CT Ballistic Silvertip is a Nosler BT with a different color polycarbonate tip that is manufactured for Winchester. Winchester adds their Lubalox coating.

Here's a website that'll tell you all about the different Nosler bullets. They'll even sell you a #6 manual and bullets.

I filed several bullets to see the inside, and was impressed to see the
construction of the Combined Technology Ballistic Tip. I pulled these bullets a while back to load but never did. Anyway... I wish I had a AccuBond to compare. You guys stated that the AccuBond has a thicker jacket compared to the CT bullets, it doesn't say that on the website. Also the cores are welded sort of like Speer cores? I would say that for tougher game the Nosler would be added insurance, that failure would be none existsing, due to the base construction.

You will hear talk time to time of how the AB's are longer then the BT's. It's a result of the thicker jackets. Copper is lighter then lead. I'm not sure the reason. Could be to make them a little stouter, or it might have something to do with the bonding process.
