I dont know specifically with this bullet, but Nosler doesnt have a good track record with producing accurate BCs. They are consistently overstated. See http://dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a554683.pdf

Accurately bonded polymer tip that would be about it !
Probably a great hunting bullet
BC seems to be somewhat fanciful
Try em your barrel might like them if they don't work use to run in new barrels

The claimed BCs of the 7mm offerings are just as unbelievable. For example the 175gn Accubond is about 0.025" shorter than the Berger 180 hybrid, and weighs 5gn less, yet claims a higher G7 BC (0.364 vs hyb 0.345). What this says to me is that you can't trust any of their claims, including about accuracy and killing power.

more like an insult Alan
Gone are the days one would have though of wild BC claims
useing wild BC claims as a marketing tool is disappointing to say the least.

Its a hunting bullet. Leave it as a hunting bullet. Nobody is winning matches using them in the USA where they have been out longer so I dare say there is a reason why.

Berger hunting bullets are found on the range though

Yes and people win shoots with them! I used them to win a queens badge! But accubonds have been out for a while now and havent heard of them winning anything- apart from the odd fridge full of venison!
