New Accubond and NBT Bullets
What are the BCs for the new .375 300 grain Accubond? Is there photo available somewhere? Does it have a cannalure?

Also, why a new 168 grs NBT? What is its BC?

You need to contact the Nosler Custom service.

SFAIK, the Accubond differs from the BT only in that it is bonded core, AND the color of the plastic tip

The BC is unchanged.

I don't think there has ever been a 300 grain .375 Ballistic Tip.

I have not seen a 300 grain Accubond, but the 260 grain Accubond is cannelured in the box that I have. That is not to say that all are, as Nosler varies its canneluring practices for some unknown reason. I would prefer UNcannelured bullets in all cases as I have found them to usually be more accurate.

Oops, you are right, the BT was a 260gr!
which has been replaced with a 260gr Accubond.

the 300 was only available in a partition.

Found the answers:

300 grain Accubond will have a cannalure and a BC of .485

The 168 gr BT will have a BC if .490. In fact, Nosler had been making this bullet for Combined Technology. Now they're bringing it out as a BT - convenience.
