260 grain Accubonds Login/Join

So I bought a coupla boxes of the 260 gr Accubonds, in .375. I was wondering if anyone has used them on game yet, or has any range time to see how they group. I am going to be loading them in my 375 Taylor, probably gonna try out some RL15 loads to see how they fly. I used a 260 grain Ballistic tip last year to take my moose, and I didn't like the icecream-bucket size of exit wound out the off shoulder. Shoulda known better, but I assumed that the larger .375 BT's would have a thicker, less 'explosive' quality.....

My most accurate .375 H&H, is a Karl Guenther on a pre 64 Winchester 1953 action, shoots all day long clovers at 100 Yards and beyond with 260 grain Accubonds, the are extremely accurate, didn�t use them on game yet. Will try next hunt on Elk and Grisly.

They don't work for s**t. Send them to me I will dispose of them for you.
They add some range to an H&H.
Take care,
JCN

I used them in Namibia earlier this summer and they worked great on large plains game (gemsbok, zebra, kudu). Mostly exited but I found 3 which had shot to the other side of the animal full length of animal. 2 of the 3 retained 75%+, the one that retained 55% went through the shoulder of the zebra and imbedded in the far shoulder bone at about 45 yards. Accuracy was great. I'm sold on this one. Bob

Fantastic in my 375 H&H in Namibia this past July. Thirteen kills with them from 100-360 yards, only 2 recovered from my blue wildebeest. Double caliber expansion, and 75% weight retention.
