Bullet interchangeability

[Raven44]

Can anyone give any feedback on the interchangeability of Accubonds and Ballistic tips. I am looking for the ability to run a std and bonded core bullet and keep the same zero's. In the hornady line the 270cal 130gn SST and 130gn Interbond have the same BC and externally look the same.
When I look at the BT 270 I see it has a bc of 0.456 in 140gn but the AccuBond 140gn has a bc of 0.496.
Has anyone any experience with shooting both in the same rifle? Do they shoot the same.
I can't easily grab a box to try as they are special order only in New Zealand so I was hoping to get and idea if they may work first before I get some.
Rifle is a blueprinted Savage 116 weather warrior with a Mcmillan A5 and Ops-Inc brake.

Cheers,
Craig

Its possible they could shoot to the same POI, but I doubt it. The barrel harmonics would be different and therefor your impact would be different. Should not be a whole heck of a lot, but I bet it would be different. You would be using a different amount of grains of powder, the bearing surface on the bullet is longer, the MV is different, all those things start to stack up and would make me think that it would be different. If anything else, you can still get a box to try and see if they shoot better, then zero your rifle for the AB's.
