168gr accubond LR driven at 300wby velocities

[double gun]

Opinions? Am I asking for trouble on game at normal (under 200yards) ranges?

Are the LR accubonds, lighter skinned than the standard accubonds?

Yes, they are. If you are shooting the 300 Weatherby, you would probably better served using the
180 regular Accubond, or the 210 LRAB, which I have used successfully on a moose at just over
100M from a 308 Norma Magnum.

Thank you for the response. Kinda what I feared.

ABLR will readily expand at lower speeds than the standard Accubond. Trade off is they can be a bit splashy at typical distances, especially from a magnum cartridge.

Yeah, when you're burning that much powder I don't know why you'd shoot a bullet made for the 308 case. Better to step up to something with tougher hide.
