I’ve seen a fair amount of NBTs and Accubonds shot into critters of various sizes over the past 25 years. I’d say on average, the NBT exits more frequently than the Accubond... given similar cal/weight/game/etc. I’ve seen one deer stop a NBT of any caliber, and one antelope stopped a 100 grainer outta the .25/06. Never seen an elk shot with one. But I’ve seen Accubonds ranging from 90gr .243 to 210 .338s dug out of deer. Admittedly, every Accubond we’ve personally shot at animals has exited, and done good work on the way out.
130 Accubond, at 2800-3000fps launch speeds, is a pretty good way to roll for most anything you’d ever need to shoot.... just ask those .270 shooting homos.
Haven’t shot anything with my 270 wsm and it’s 140gr NAB...I’m expecting same results that I’ve seen from many moons of killing big and average sized fur with 180gr Accubonds. Animals hit with it seem to die quickly. It’s just a good shoot’n, animal stopper. I like the Barnes TSX bullets, too... But, if I had to pick one Gay Parade Float to ride on, it would be sponsored by Nosler Accubonds. 🦄 🌈 🦄
