Finally got em! The new Nosler 150gr 277” Accubond Long Range vs Berger VLDs
Woohoo. I finally got my order of Noslers new 150gr 277” Accubond Long Range. Apparently they made some changes that are supposed to improve it quite a bit- better BC then Bergers VLDs. I just wonder if the deer and moose will appreciate all the extra money and work I'm going through for them! Now to prepare to do some testing to see what powder combo works best ... And then we wait for hunting season!
Here was their info
Bend, Ore. – October 31, 2012 – Nosler, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of their new line of AccuBond® Long Range bullets. Developed through a combination of bullet manufacturing techniques that are unique to Nosler, the design of the AccuBond®-LR allows for the highest B.C. possible in a bullet of the same caliber and weight. Designed with an optimum performance window ranging from 3,200fps to 1,300fps, the unique tapered jacket geometry and proprietary bonding process of the AccuBond®-LR allow it to expand rapidly for effective energy transfer and significant tissue damage while retaining sufficient weight to ensure deep penetration into the vitals. The AccuBond® bonding process allows the AccuBond®-LR to perform reliably on game throughout the entire velocity range, eliminating the problem of being “too close” often encountered with other high-B.C. bullets. The high-performance boat tail, long ogive, and polymer tip combine to make the AccuBond®-LR the sleekest, flattest- shooting, bonded, hunting bullet ever created. The ogive of the AccuBond®-LR is designed to provide excellent accuracy in a wide variety of firearms without the necessity of being loaded close to or in contact with the lands. The new AccuBond®-LR will be packaged in 100 count boxes, and will initially be available in the following calibers and weights."
The BC's listed for the Nosler Accubond-LR are as follows;
Caliber Weight G1 BC G7 BC
