Nosler Trophy Grade Accubond

[drache]

Anyone have an experience with this ammo? They have it on for $30 a box at the local gun store. It certainly looked pretty and since they didn't have match grade ammo in Federal or any other brand so I picked up a box of this.

Right now my rifle can't seem to do better than 6" groupings at 200 yards and that is with a bipod and sandbag and with more than one shooter.

I tried 6 rounds of this Nosler Trophy Grade but the groupings didn't seem to improve. Tomorrow I'm hoping to finally swap the scope off the rifle to something a little better I have lying around and see if that helps with the Nosler.

So far I've tried:

American Eagle FMJ, 150gr (I didn't expect much from this )

Federal Premium Sierra Gamekings (didn't have matchkings or Gold medal ammo), 165gr

Nosler Trophy Grade Accubond, 165gr.

Yes I know I should be hand loading but I don't have a set address due to work constraints and thus not set up for it

it is top of the line in my opinion i use it in 308 and it shoots tight groups out of my remington 700. you do not say what your rifle is? or what scope you are using that round is used by a lot of pro shooters so maybe you got a bad batch it could happen?

Best commercial ammo on the market ( the Accubond is a great hitting bullet), 3/8 inch group out of my takedown @ 100 metres, bought 600 rounds just for the cases (norma cases), i think there are out of stock now but we could buy them for 229.00 for 200 to your door not to long ago from Wantsalls, 2 years ago i paid 50.00 for a 20 rounds box... JP.

I bought 3 boxes of this stuff and get about 1/2 MOA with it out to 300 yards.

That was the 130gr 270 load.

I was able to duplicate the load using the same brass, CCI Large Rifle Primers, and 56gr IMR4831 with the same COAL. Hits to the same point of impact, groups the same. Indistinguishable from the factory load except of course that the component bullets don't have a cannelure and therefore the rounds are not crimped.
