Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting accubonds?

Yeah, they work.

My wife shot her first buck using an accubond. Worked without a hiccup for her.

Grandad kilt'em with a whole lot less. I figure with accubonds we are blessed.

These must be the best bullets on the planet. I've been trying to find some to reload for my new to me .257 Wby. Everybody is recommending them but I can't find any. So the question is, "Who is hoarding all the .25 cal 110g Accubond"?

I got an e-mail from Nosler customer service yesterday. The Accubonds have been out of stock for months and currently they are not on the production schedule. E-tips are on schedule for the fourth quarter this year.

I have a [bleep] of them for my and my son's .257 Roy. Can't see using anything else in those rifles, ever.

They work in the Roberts also.

Yep - even though I hit him a little further back than I wanted due to the angle he didn't go far. 110 AB @ 2875 fps at about 75 yards

Shot an Iranian Red Sheep at 80 yards with a 110 Accubond out of my 257 Weatherby. Started at 3450 fps. Shoulder shot, drt. Bullet was found underneath the off side. Weighed 54 grains.

Accubonds in 300 win.180grns. and 7mm08 140grns.only shot one elk
with them in the 300. Shot a lot of deer with the 140 in 7mm08.they have worked very well for me.

You rhymed.

And, that's the way they look on every one I have seen depicted or I recovered.

I have taken one 5x5 bull elk as well as many WI whitetails with my 7mm WSM shooting 160gr Accubonds as well as a 6x6 bull elk with my 325 WSM shooting 200gr Accubonds. The bullets I have recovered very much resemble the pictures above and the performance and accuracy have always been more than acceptable.
The ones I have recovered are interestingly almost always right around 70% weight retention.
I wouldn't hesitate to shoot anything with them.
The same goes for other family members that shoot combos including:
300 WSM 180gr Accubonds
30-06 180gr Accubonds
300 Win Mag 180gr Accubonds
7mm Rem Mag 160gr Accubonds
270 WSM 140gr Accubonds

Shot a 160 lbs 8 pt with a 125 gr Accubond from a RSI .308 at 2950 fps. Shot behind the shoulder (50 yds) Small hole going in 2" coming out.

6.5 x 55 140 grain Accubonds at 2650 fps have done the deal for me ...



This stag dropped like a rock with a frontal shot.

Nice animals Rodell! The 140gr NAB has served me well in my 6.5x55 as well. This is the only one that I've recovered. Almost full length penetration on a large hog.

My Ruger M77 .270 usually shoots 140 NBT's into a 1 1/2" group @100. I just loaded up some 140 AB's and shot them today out of that rifle and the groups were closer to 3". All I changed was I used H414 powder instead of my normal W760 because 760 was sold out. I thought AB's shot close to the same as NBT's so what happened? I know my loads are good because my All Weather Hawkeye loves them.

Same powder, different batch.

I have been testing a few rifles lately and noticed accuracy going off in rifles of proven history. The only thing that has changed is the batches of primers and powders I have around, so the tests continue to isolate the items of discrepancy.
