Nosler - Long Range Accubond Press Release

[scoutm]

I saw this release posted on another site and thought some over here might find it interesting.

 

 

 

"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.

Really like the high BC 270 option.

That's awesome good looking out!! I've been wanting to get a load together for the misses 270 so that looks like a good bullet to start with

[308Nut]

You just beat me to it!

[Coach]

I've found Accubonds to be spectacular bullets. They fly well, they do exceptionally well on game. I'm sure these willl "up the mark" for Nosler shooters.

Cant wait to give the 168 grain and 175 grain in the 7mm a shot!!!

[STOMP442]

Just be aware that nosler is known for inflating b.c. numbers by quite a bit up to 12% in some cases and these seem definitely inflated. As the 270 Cal 150 bergers only have a b.c. of .535 and the 7mm 168 only has a .618. I don't see where these noslers are picking up the numbers. The 270 especially is suspicious as a 90 point spread is quite a jump. Just don't buy it.

.730 G1 for a 210 grain 30 cal??? Hey-ohhhhhh!!! I know what I'll be testing next summer. G7 info is also a plus.

[AzHuntingAddict]

Im down with trying them out too.

[STOMP442]

.730 is 100 points higher than the Berger 210 as well. Hate to say it but nosler is full of crap on this one. Ten bucks says b.c.s get revised drastically when people start calling them on their BS.

Sure wish there wasn't a conspiracy against the .257 caliber!

There wouldn't be if guys of your "stature" would step up a shoot a caliber that's more consistent with shall we say your "caliber" ...I'm thinking a 338 would be more fitting....leave the .257's to small guys like me.

[firstcoueswas80]

Ill trade you my .257 for a custom built 338 lapua

 

Those dang things are just to friggin heavy and too friggin expensive to build/feed!

Hard to carry a hefty rifle with the size of spare tire i carry around... You know, for emergencies!

[pwrguy]

I will definitely be trying those 210 in my 300Wm that is in process, that is just the size I have in mind for the new rifle.
