Nosler Acubond bullets

Anyone use the Nosler Acubond bullets. Hunting mainly whitetail up to about 200 yard shots. Thinking about trying some out, just wanted the board's thoughts on the bullet.

The perfect hunting bullet.
I’ve also had good luck with Nosler Ballistic Tips.

I shoot a lot of Nosler Ballistic Tip and Accubond bullets and have had great success with both. It is very rare when you find a rifle that does not group them well. If you are using a standard caliber such as 30/06, 308, 270 etc use the Ballistic Tips. If you are using a magnum caliber use the Accubond. They are essentially the same bullet but the Accubond has the lead core bonded to the jacket for a tougher bullet with more retained weight.

AB is a fantastic bullet. Running it in a 6.5x55 and 30-06. Groups well and highly effective.

Steve Rinella is an accubond fan I believe. I've personally never used them but I know people who do and they like them as well. I wouldnt hesitate to use them especially on deer.
They've recently come out with a long range version as well that has a thinner jacket to open up easier at lower velocity. Long range according to nosler is 500+ yards.

I use them in my 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor. I've had no issues with accubonds

I was actually just looking at these yesterday. I’ll be loading some in several different calibers. The 190 gr is what I’ll likely go with in my 300.

Nosler Acubond bullets
I have used them exclusively for years in my .270 and have taken maybe 20 deer with this combo. Aside from one “bad” shot on a traveling buck (that I found within 50 yards), I’ve never had a deer take another step. Typical shots have been 120-250yds.

once I broke in the barrel, my 30 Nosler groups the ABs 1/2" at 100yds. First cold bore shot is usually dead on the bulls eye. I've tested it out to 500yds and was still blowing up milk jugs w/ center-mass hits at that distance.
Before Barnes & Bergers became all the rage, my dad always loaded us ballistic tips for our 30-06's, 270's, 243's...the normal whitetail rifles. Again, super accurate DRT performance.

I do in my .308. I've probably killed 5 or 6 deer with them in the last 3 years. I'm pleased with them.

They do great in my .338 win mag / 250 grain
2/0 for moose

Has anyone tried them in a 257 Weatherby Mag?

Accubond 165 in my 308 always lethal with good blood trail.
