Accubond LR

[trucraft]

Anyone know who's the importer for Nosler is in the UK?

 

I'm contemplating trying out the standard 160grn AB in my 7mm but if there's a chance the Longrange will be available this year I'll wait.

May I ask as to what range you are planning to hunt with these LR ?

 

I have been using them since they came out

 

Anything under 600 yards is virtually the same as accubond in the field

 

It really excels once you are past 600 yards

Your right mate i'm unlikely to go much more than 600yrds. That said I think you would have to be pushing the standard AB pretty fast to get reliable expantion at 600yrds. Given the CLAIMED BC of 0.652 and 1300fps min impact velocity of the 168grn LRAB whats not to like.

My bullet of choice is these or the 168 Bergers but I do lean towards a bonded bullet.

I think it may come down to reliable availability at the time.

May i ask where you got your Accubond LR Bullets from? Edgar Bros had none when my dealer enquired.

Thank you.

I think he's talking about the standard AB.
