hello all. I've heard lots of good things about nosler accubonds so the whole family has been experimenting with them this year for their hunting loads.
in my older brothers 7mm rem mag, 180(I think)gr accubonds have nearly double the group size as SSTs of equal weight.
in my brother in law's 25-06, 110gr accubonds disintegrate leaving just a small piece of jagged jacket behind, tried multiple tests, one of which resulted in me being hit by jacket fragments ricocheting(I guess I should consider myself lucky it didn't hold together).
and lastly I just killed my first black bear with my 6.5x50m using 140gr accubonds at 100 yards. the bullet hit a rib and then split in half, one half traveling straight down the body cavity tearing up intestines and tenderloins, the other taking out the liver and heart.
now I can maybe understand the 25-06 and 7mm as those are very high velocity impacts but at 100 yards my accubonds are barely traveling the minimum 1800FPS minimum recommended by nosler for proper expansion. is it just me or are accubonds overpriced pieces of junk?
