Good job Nosler.

I was wondering when the 165gr was coming out. Cant wait to try it...It will be pretty impressive if it can beat my Speer Hot Core load in my .308. Kind of hard to beat the Hot Core price too. I had to laugh thought. Just when a guy thought there were too many options, they bring another bullet choice out...

Is the accubond more accurate than the Sirroco or the Ballistic tip?

The 3 bullets you mention often provide great accuracy. Which one will shoot the best in your rifle, who knows??

Possibly...in my rifle (M-70 .30-06) the Sirroco didn't shoot well at all.

You just have to try them to know how they'll shoot for you.

Now all we need is an Accubond 175-grain 7mm with extremely high B.C.!

Good job Nosler.


And the all the 6.5 shooters utter a collective groan. Thanks for nothing, Bob. thumbdown
And Steve Hornady has a great opportunity to beat Nosler to the punch with a 6.5 Interbond. Interesting to see if anyone cares. I guess I will keep shooting the cheap, yet accurate and effective Hornady 129 SP.


Bullets are pretty worthless. All they do is hang around waiting to get loaded.

Yeah, me too. Looked at that way, Nosler's saved us some money by not giving us a more expensive option!

Any information on the length of the .338 200 grain Accubond, or the 225 grain? I'm wondering how far they intrude on the powder capacity of a 338WSM when loaded to an OAL of 3.150.

If they happen to make one I hope it is 120gr or lighter...

By the way, Swift already has a 6,5mm Scirocco in 130gr on the shelves...

Anybody tried them already?

John Barsness writes that he knows the Nosler guys pretty well, and a .264" Interbond is near. Interbonds are long bullets for their weight, so it'll be lighter than 140g in order to stabilze in the 1-9" twists.
