Has anyone tried Nosler Accubond LR bullets?

[DenisA]

Just wondering if anyone has tried these bullets for target shooting?

I was looking through some different bullet web sites and came across these. They boast some pretty good B.C's even compared to Bergers.

The design looks interesting too. I could be wrong, but to me they look more like a tangent ogive and look to have a very long boat tail.

Scroll down to the bottom of the link for the bullet specs.

Ran some 6.5mm 129gr bullets, they were ok but not brilliant. Pretty good for hunting though, took down a few deer with ease. The Berger 130gr VLD target/hunting bullet is a much better choice.

Have you priced them? I'm guessing not if you're considering using them. I bought a box a of 140gr 7mm accubonds a few years ago to try thinking they might be worth a look at $54 a box....then when I got home I realised there's only 50 in a box

Steve, I'm not considering using them. I just thought they looked like an interesting design and wondered if they shot well enough for LR target disciplines.

I was looking around to see what 8mm bullet options were available
