I've been shooting the new Nosler 200 grain Accubonds in my .300 Weatherby. Using 80 gr. of RL 22 powder, Remington Brass, Federal 215 primers, and moly-coated Accubond bullets [I moly coat them myself], loaded to an overall lenght of 3.67 inches and crimped in place with a Lee Factory Crimp Die, gives me a load that produces 3000+ f.p.s. and the best accuracy I've ever gotten from this rifle -- some firings gave 3-shot groups of well under 1/2 inch at 100 yards, and well under 1 inch at 200 yards. I've never been able to get Nosler Partitions to give good accuracy in any of the rifles or loads I've tried with them.



The question now is: Would it be good to replace Partitions with Accubonds for all hunting? Accubonds cost almost exactly the same as Partitions. And, judging from what some have written here, their performance on game may well be as good, or even better than that of Partitions.

I shot a black bear, breaking both front legs and hitting the lungs with a 200gr accubond out of a 300RUM, from about 100 yards a couple of weeks ago. After seeing how well the bullet preformed passing through heavy bone and leaving an exit hole an inch and a half across I'm sold on the accubonds. I'm pushing the 200's 3050fps at the muzzle and I'm sure they will do well at all the ranges I hunt deer and elk.

You should have no worries whatsoever using the Accubond.

Accubonds are designed to be just as tough as the partitions. They have the accuracy of the ballistic tip with the weight retention and toughness of the partition. Feel free to use them for all of your hunting needs
