I am sighted in with my 30-06 with Federal premium 150gr Accubonds. I am planning to use these on sika deer and Blackbuck antelope. Will the bullet still perform properly on this smaller sized game? Am I OK using this bullet? I hope I am cause i am dialed in with it. Thanks, W. | ||

Probably. However, my preference would be a faster-opening bullet for these smaller game animals. The Accubond is made for larger, tougher game. I've had a couple of 180 gr .30's glide through wild hogs with little apparent expansion. In most guns, a 150 grain Ballistic Tip will shoot identically to its companion Accubond. I would go with the Ballistic Tip, or any conventional cup-and-core bullet for game this light. | |||

I think they should work just fine. Just remember bullet placement is most important. Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission. | |||

Thanks Guys, I appreciate your advice. For what its worth, I just call Nosler and they said the 150gr Accubond should work good for this application. Thanks again, W. | |||

I shot this small Pennsylvania deer with a 140gr Accubond: The bullet performed similar to what I would have expected from a Partition, which is to say superbly. They should be an excellent choice for what you are hunting........................DJ ....Remember that this is all supposed to be for fun!.................. | |||

I used a 130gr Acubond in my 264WM on Klipspringer, Grysbuck, Bushbuck & Vaalie this summer. All were DRT. Great bullet.

Yes I would say that those accubonds by nosler are a fine bullet. I have my 338 RUM loaded with those accubonds. A friend of mine killed a large black bear with them. | |||

Here is what a 110gr Accubond did on a 170lb Sika from a 257 Weatherby at 226 yds: Free men should not be subjected to permits, paperwork and taxation in order to carry any firearm. NRA Benefactor | |||
