Nosler Long range Accubond Additional info

[FOTIS]

Yes sir!

 

[SJB358]

I really hope these BC's are dead on or super close so I can serve some haters with crow every dinner for the next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have much more patience than me with some of the guys at 24hourcampfire that are very negative about a bullet that no one outside of Nosler has even seen yet Even if the b.c. is a bit optimistic and the jacket isn't as heavy as some like they are going to be great bullets Can't wait to try the 129 gr 6.5mm.

Same here Gerry.

Can't wait to try the 129 gr 6.5mm.

That should be a good one in my Creedmoor...

I hope they do work out, both in bc and price I am curious how they are gaining such a huge advantage over the 208 amax???

Secant vs. Tangent ogives be my guess.
Tangent's tend to show better at the muzzle, wheras Secant's tend to show better as velocity decreases. It could be Nosler figured on those backside velocities where the AB VLD is meant used.

So if anyone is interested...

I thought I'd try my hand at blogging and since the long range AccuBond is the driver behind my most recent rifle build, I thought a few of you might like to follow along.

It will be the chronicle of building up a 7STW and hand loads to go with it.

Cool, that should be a SWEET build!

Indeed!

As stated by other's, this design will add to the performance of the modest to smaller case capacity rounds. Then too, JD and I were discussing the use in handcannons, where velocity is typically 2-400 fps slower than when used in a rifle barrel length. They will shine in this use as well.

My 7mm08 can drive all the 7mm ALR bullets :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I would love to let a few elk or big CO mulies feel the sting of a 150gr .270 over top of some IMR4350..hehehhehe!!

Now a AccuBond .338 in 260gr or 270gr for the Lapua.

HA! That'll be cool Pat. I am looking forward to monkeying with them when they are available. Although, I have alot of PT's and BT's still!

 

[Palouser]

Yup sometimes these guys drive me nuts! They make me want to strip them down and strangle them with their berger bullet thongs!![/quote]

Thanks a lot FOTIS. I haven't laughed this hard in awhile trying to make a mental picture of this!

 

[gerry]

Yes, since Bergers are really pointy it could be a little uncomfortable :shock:

Thankfully at HuntingBC they have been pretty positive about them no whining about prices yet.

 

[Palouser]

Just an FYI fellas

Out of curiousity, why hasn't Nosler made an official announcement/press release about these? Do you guys know when they will be available for sure?

We made the announcement on behalf of Nosler.
First production quantities are scheduled for Spring 2013.

This is probably a stupid question, but do you (JD338) and FOTIS work for Nosler?

 

[Oldtrader3]

Fotis and JD, there seems to be a lot of interest here on this forum about shooting .257 caliber rifles with many people owning .25-06's. Is there any chance of Nosler considered the inclusion of a long Range AccuBond for 1 in 10 twist, .257 calibers, like a 110 grain AB for instance?

 

[Guy Miner]

Palouser - JD338 & FOTIS have real jobs, and are both great guys, but they do their work on this forum as serious, die-hard fans of Nosler. They're not employees. Often JD338 or FOTIS will have some inside scoop about things happening at Nosler, and they share that info here on the forum.

The forum belongs to Nosler, and I'm glad they've provided this great place for us to exchange info about all things hunting & shooting related.

Heck, I'm a die-hard Nosler fan myself, started using them in the 1970's. Used their bullets to shoot my way to NRA "High Master" in long range rifle, and have taken most of my game animals with them as well.

Regards, Guy

No, Fotis and I do not work for Nosler.
As Guy mentioned, we get the inside scoop and are asked by Nosler to pass it along as we did here with the ALR announcement.
