nosler accubond: opinions needed!

I'd use 150s. In the 308, you don't need premium bullets because they won't be hitting 3000fps. Even in 24", a 165 will top out at 2700 on the chrono.

Even in 24", a 165 will top out at 2700 on the chrono." actually this particular round will top out at 2800 fps in 165gr. and in the 150 gr will be close to 3000fps. if you go to the link i posted you can see that. thanks for the reply though. im really just looking for experiences with this bullet in particular not the whole round.
 
They are a great bullet, go ahead and use them.

I'm using 100gr Nosler Accubond's in my 6.8spc, they are accurate and deadly.:cool:
 
That bullet at 25-3000 fps will be death in the air for nearly any north american game within reasonable distances.
 
I have only used a 200 gr 30 cal Accubond @2900 fps on a deer.DRT,but very modest meat damage.

Brother has been using Ballistic Tip 165 gr for deer/antelope out of a .308.Works real good.

Brother's boss's 14 yr old kid was using .308 for elk.We set him up with a 165 Accubond.He had one shot one quick kill/bullet under hide performance at near 300 yds.

I really like Noslers trio of 165 /168 gr bullets in the 308.The Custom Competition Match bullet,the 165 Ballistic Tip,and the 165 Accubond.

What I do,when I have a question like this:Call or E-mail a tech guy at Nosler.They know what the best application is.

Shoot good,and you'll be fine.
 
I've used .308 180 gr Nosler Accubond in .300 WM and .30-06. This bullet has very good accuracy capability. It also holds together well on a heavy skinned, big boned game like elk, which I've taken 4 with this bullet. None of the animals went more than 20 yards and as little at 1 step before dropping stone cold. I'd recommend the Accubond to anyone for accuracy and excellent results on big animals.
 
They are amongst the best your money can buy. Personally I find the cheaper stuff from Remington and Federal works just as well on feral hogs but there we are.
 
Yeah buddy,,, I shot a ten-pointer this year with a 130 gr Nosler Accubond, broadside at 85 yds, it was a "high-shoulder" heartshot. The bullet busted up the top part of the heart and shattered his lungs, and left an exit hole the size of a nickle... Nice quick clean kill,,, it's perfect for any animal, I think.
