I can ad that all were one shot kills apart for the Eland, but that had nothing to do with bullet performance.

Charl, I was using them in my .280 when we hunted together. I took the Impala, Duiker and Jackal. I taken many African PG with the 160 grain, up to Kudu, Gemsbok, Hartebeast and Wildebeast. Excellent bullet. I have not used them in .375 however. I have used Swift A-Frames (Lion) in .375 H&H.

I hunted last year in Africa with the Serengeti Rifle hunt at Didimala Safaris in SA. One hunter was using a custom 375 from Serengeti and 260 Nosler Accubonds. I was looking through my 8 power Binos when he took a mature Gembok at 255 meters (laser). What I thought was the red dust flying was actually the explosive spray of blood coming out the other side. The Gembok fell in it's tracks in a pool of blood and I found blood spray at leasts 5 meters beyond the animal. Later he took a Red Hartebeest with a head on shot to the chest at almost 300yards. The animals fell in it's tracks in a huge pool of blood. Results were very impressive. Same with his Black Wildebeest. He did shoot a Red Hartebeest too high and it got back up an we did not recover it so even with a 375 you need to make a good shot. On a Nosler Web site I read that they do everything that a Partition does but with a longer more aerodynamic profile. I may try them in my 376 Steyr if they are not to long. I also want to try the GS Customs in 250 grain that are made for the 376 Steyr. Of course I think they are in a different league of bullet. Sort of like premium and super premium. | |||

The Nosler Accubond 260 grs in 375 H&H Mag is a superb bullet, on the most of big game. It has a very good kill performance. The accuracy is also suberb in my rifle threshotplacements is in of 3/4"  A Fallow deer shot with the 375 H&H Mag in a Sako Finnbear, with Nosler Accubond 260 grs, distance 120 meters, the shoulder lookes bad, but when i cut away about 1 pound the shoulder was OK. It fell on the spot. I find a photo of the testshooting with the Accubond 265 grs.  As you see the accuracy is excellent Salesagent Africa hunting | |||

Nice! Hopefully they shoot in the new 375 my smithy is building me. The BC is around 450 and the SD is around 275. Should be one hell of a bullet. It was supposed to be the Hammer of Thor! Now that it's not a 358 Norma, not sure if I will still call it that anymore. Not sure if it was the smiths' fault or what but he had a hard time getting a 358 barrel, so I found a 375 barrel and I decided I needed a 375 Ruger. | |||

I took a number of animals in Namibia a few years ago exclusively using the 260 grain accubond. Great accuracy. We only recovered 3 bullets. One plowed through both shoulders of a mountain zebra at 40 yds and retained about 55%. One was a follow up shot (texas heart shot) on a wounded gemsbok. This one retained 72% and penetrated at least 4 feet of antelope. (From rearend to front shoulder). 3rd was a kudu at less than 50 yds, retained 77%. Everything else was a pass throught with quarter sized exits and great blood trail. It worked exceptionally well for us. Bob | |||

Sounds like the right bullet for this heavy barreled Ruger "sendaro". | |||

Sorry David, I kept it to .375 as that was asked, but I remembered when I read your post..... Good luck D99, they are strong bullets..... www.infinito-safaris.com Charl van Rooyen Owner Infinito Travel Group www.infinito-safaris.com charl@infinito-safaris.com Cell: +27 78 444 7661 Tel: +27 13 262 4077 Fax:+27 13 262 3845 Hereford Street 28A Groblersdal 0470 Limpopo R.S.A.

I have heard that Nosler is going to make them in 300grains as well in 375 caliber. Can anybody confirm if this is correct?? Verbera!, Iugula!, Iugula!!! Blair. | |||

I used them on about 40 head of PG in 2004 and 2007, up to zebra, kudu, and eland. Fantastic results and I love them. Very accurate for me. The 375 300 grain is listed on Nosler's website as new for 2008 - I did talk to the Federal reps, and they said they were not going to load them in their ammo, only the 260 AB. | |||
