Just wondering if 180gr. 30 cal. accubonds and the same ballistic tip bullets shoot pretty much the identically if they have the same BC.507 i use both these bullets in my 300win mag.
 
Yup pretty much the same but they may or may not hit anywere near the same place. In my .300 win mag the 180gr, Partition shoots 1 inch to the right of the 180 grain Sierra boatail. In addition the Partition shoots about a 1" to a 1.25 inch group and the Sierra shoots sub .500. The only way to really tell is to shoot them both with the same components and see what happens. I use 72 gr. of 4350 in my Win mag with the 180. That may be to much in your gun.
 
Every rifle and load is different. They may/may not shoot to the same POI.
The .308 cal 180 gr AB is slightly longer than the 180 gr BT.

I agree with JD. Unless you try you might never know.
 
The bullets are similar, and one average shoot similar groups in the same rifle, but not always...On average, for me they usually group close, with in about an inch or two of each other, but the BT's shooting the better group. But check before you go hunting, that's not always the case with all rifles.
