Anyone know if they have been released yet? I see them on several online retailers listed as out of stock. I have some plans for them!

I've been wanting to make this exact post for some time. I've been looking forward to getting some since Nosler announced they would be producing them early in the year. I wonder what is going on.

150 Partitians, BT and Combined Technology BT at Shooters pro shop now. Not what you were looking for but all good bullets. You could do load work up with the BT and be ready to go when the Accubonds become available and you would save a few coins too in the process. I have found the BT and Accubonds almost completely interchangeable as far as load work up and accuracy. One may do better than the other but no general rules which will be more accurate, usually they are about the same.

I saw that too at SPS. Love SPS but noticed their overrun prices are more than my usual online stores. I have a load all done up with the 150BT, kind of thinking the same, plug and play! Also have had some great success with the 140AB and the 150Pt on moose. Thinking if the 150's aren't here by fall I'll shot one with the 150BT for variety sake.

Just emailed back and forth with the pro shop. The production run is done and should be getting shipped soon to retailers. If you go by the pro shop, they will put some boxes aside for you.

Got my .284 150 Accubond's last month. That is all I need.

I shoot 130 Grain SGK because I shoot mainly Whitetail deer and hogs and I've had great luck for almost 40 years with them on meduim game. I don't have any thought of an elk hunt at present but now and again I get a chance at a Nilgai hunt down here. And should I have an opportunity at a Nilgai o an elk, I do want to have a heavier bullet in mind and a load worked up for it. From what I've seen on here the Nosler Partition, though an old design, is still a great bullet for larger animals. But I would also look at using these Accubonds.
What is the difference and/or advantage, if any, of the Accubond over the Partition?

Wonder how bad they’ll inflate the BC?
I’ll bet .535 when Litz gets ahold of it.

Why Acubond over Long-Range Acubond?
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

Why Acubond over Long-Range Acubond? My understanding is the LRAB isn’t as stout as the AB. But who the hell knows. Why not a long range partition? Those LRAB’s were accurate as hell in my 270. Killed tons of paper and steel with them.

I killed a bull elk and a couple whitetail bucks with the 150 ABLR, plan on using them again this fall.

I've not tried the 150 ablr. If I were to hazard a guess, the standard 150 is likely easier to tune and more stable for most 270 win barrels, and a harder bullet but less slippery.
