You're late!....... But since I'm typing a .284" 120gr Accubond would have made more sense!!

unless im trying to make a reduced load for lighter recoil or using these on something smaller than a 308, i would prefer the 130 ttsx at warp speed over the 125 abond...BC's are comparable but i have a feeling the 130 ttsx will do better when launched over 3000

I'd tell them to figure out how to get regular 150 gr. Ballistic Tips down to $25 per hundred since they have nearly zero chance of up selling me to the bonded or monometal stuff.

We killed a lot of deer with the std 125g Ballistic tips, accubond will be even better. In a 308 with a 24" barrel, they will shoot very tiny groups at 3100-3200 fps with Win 748.

If they shoot as well as the 125 BT's at 3200 I will use them and look forward to seeing my 12-year old kill all kinds of critters with them!


Good Shooting!

Why? The NAB can easily handle an impact velocity of 3300fps. I have seen that in the .257 bee.

i just think at that speed it will shed at least 40% of its weight while the TTSX will shed approx 1-5% and out penetrate the AB...whether thats "needed" is up to the shooter but for big game i'd prefer it in a lighter bullet traveling fast....just me, i might be wrong

You need to recover a bullet to weigh it. Have not been able to do so.

And even if you do, why does weight retention even matter? I am guessing here, but you can only recover bullets from dead critters, trees or dirt.

as a projectile loses weight, it loses momentum, which means less penetration. If I'm shooting a 300 pound hog, I would prefer the weight retention

I think partition fans may take issue.

I have a reduced recoil load for my son using the 125 gr. NBT at about 2600 ft/sec MV.

At this velocity range does the AB offer a significant advantage?

At what point would an AB be more appropriate for deer sized critters out to 250 yards?

Sounds like the perfect bullet for those with a 7.62x39 and a .308 bore.

well a partition has a partition so the weight loss stops at some point. I think a 150 ttsx will out penetrate a 150 partition give the same impact speed

Yep, weight loss will always stop at some point. On any bullet.
