I have been a proponent of Nosler Partition, E-Tip and AccuBond for hunting big game for years. Most of my hunting was done with ammo that I loaded myself. So why use their Trophy Grade Ammo? The above video tells the story. Most importantly their hunting ammo is the finest in the world and is very cost effective at around $ 40 to 50 dollars for 20 rounds. When it comes down to an expensive hunt and you have just one shot, the use of Nosler Trophy Grade ammo is just what the doctor ordered. They provides smooth feeding in your rifle action and a fast followup shot if needed.

My friends at Nosler sent me 140 grain Nosler AccuBonds in 6.5 Creedmoor to test and write about for my Texas Whitetail hunt this fall. They will exit the rifle barrel at around 2650 and deliver deer killing energy out to 600 yards. My Weatherby Vanguard Weatherguard rifle shoots them at 2750 fps. Nice!

Below is a ballistic gel test that is a tell all. Wow!

I did my own penetration test on this 800 lb bison years back. He was quartering away and walking at around 100 yards. I had only seconds to shoot. I found a sapling to brace my rifle and let loose a 260 grain AccuBond from my .375 Ruger. The bullet struck the last rib on the right and plowed forward into lungs and heart. It struck the bone on the far shoulder and plowed through it and fully exited the animal. The bull fell dead as a door nail in 20 feet.

Because the lead is bonded to the copper the AccuBond retains a large portion of its original weight. You get Controlled Expansion and High Weight Retention.

Good Hunting!
