[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 214913, member: 10"] Thanks for the report. Its to bad the boys at Nosler would not listen to use and give us what we want. A 1-10 twist which is standard in the 338 would easily stabilize any accubond up to even a 280 gr version and BC would get up to where it should be. As far as factory rifles not handling the longer bullets accurately, when was the last time you saw a 338 factory rifle in anything smaller then the 338 Win Mag? Oh ya, there is the 338 Fed. Course for that there are many lighter weight 338 Accubonds to choose from and a +250 gr bullet would not be applicable anyway. A 300 gr Accubond would perform very well in the larger 338 magnums, BC would be very similiar to if not a bit more then the 300 gr SMK and and with dramatically improved terminal performance. When was the last time you saw any 338 with a 1-10 not stabilize a 300 gr SMK?????? Seems Nosler just does not want to think out of the box. While I am on my soap box, why will noone make a 375 cal bullet over 300 grains from a major bullet maker. A 350 gr Accubond would be great and again, a 1-10 would be MORE Then enough and a 1-12 would work with most chamberings. Nuff said, good results. Do some long range shooting and let us know if those BCs match up with actual bullet drops. [/QUOTE]
