INTRODUCING Accubond Long Range

[IdahoCTD]

Our prayers are answered. They should sell like hotcakes if the BC's hold true and they are accurate. I've got several guns in all calibers but .270 to give them a whirl. I might even have to build a .270-300wm to test those out too.

 

[Ridgerunner665]

Heck, even if those BC's are computer generated and off by 4-5%...those 30 caliber bullets will STILL be awesome...the 190 would be .608, which seems more "probable" than .640 for that bullet weight...but who knows, just a few years ago most agreed that 168's weren't capable of better than .475...now there are 168's at .519.

New research sometimes opens new doors...

 

[IdahoCTD]

The next bullets I would do would be a 225-250gr .338 in the new design and then something heavier to surpass the 300gr AB for BC. A good 300+gr .375 bullet would rock too.

Please update the 35cal 225gr AB ... my 358RUM needs a better projectile.
Cheers...

Are the AccuBond long range going to be in the new Nosler #7 reloading guide? Wow a 150 in the 7WSM and the 168 & 175 in the 7RUM, this is gonna get interesting with Alliant reloader 33. Way to go Nosler

 

[velvetant]

definitely trying the 129gr 6.5 in my Creedmoor and maybe the 210gr .308 in my 300WM

That 225-250 .338 is the one I'm waiting for! Pretty sure it would make one heck of an elk stopper for a long ways out of the 338/375R that is on its way.

I want to drive to Bend, and shake some hands! Well done Nosler.

Oh dear lord.... now I'm faced with a huge dilemma...

300 WSM to shoot the 190s
or
300 WM to shoot the 190s
or
7mm STW to shoot the 7mm

Can you imagine the 7mm STW with a 26" tube launching those 175s?

Been dreaming about that very thing all day :wink:

 

[buckfever]

Oh boy lots to try out in my 7mm rem mag and my 300 rum so when can we get our hands on them :grin: :grin: :grin:

 

[Too Tall]

I believe the 190 is the best weight for the 3oo WSM.

 

[wildgene]

...uh, they fergot da 220-230gr./ .650+ BC 8mm...

 

[Guy Miner]

Wow... Nice! Not like the "old" Accubonds were poor at long range... Might just have to mess with ol' Winny the .300 WSM a little more now...

190 or 210, what a dilemma! :grin:

Guy

 

[Wincheringen]

I will be looking forward to trying the 6.5 in my 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.5x55 Swede!

 

[Greg Nolan]

A nice 120 gr. for the 25 caliber would surely end my whining about bullet performance. :mrgreen:

 

[shoots_5]

I literally just giggled!!! You just made my freaking day!!!!!!! Back, back, back....it's gone! Nosler hit this one out of the park!

 

[Ridge_Runner]

190 or 210, what a dilemma! :grin:

Guy

what ya mean old accubonds poor at long range

have taken 3 beyond 1K with plain ole 160 noslers, I'll definately run some of the LR accubonds

[FOTIS]

Can you imagine the 7mm STW with a 26" tube launching those 175s?

Or my 7mm rum

 

[remingtonman_25_06]

Its about time they did something like that...

Been telling guys for years if they can make a bonded bullet fly as well as a 162 amax they'd be in business...

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

 

[remingtonman_25_06]

The 168 will be perfect for the 7s....

Dont believe the 175 is worth much if anything with the BC/velocity difference with any cartridge...

Coulda done a .257" 115g with a .500 at least instead

Either way, pretty awesome news...

My only thought is price??? I hope they aren't to much if anymore then the regular ABs, they are expensive enough when you shoot a lot and practice with same bullets, which is typically why I dont even run ABs in my rifles...
