[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 215035, member: 10"] These are very good points, Nosler could have gotten more aggressive with the ogive and really boosted the BC of even the 250 gr Accubond with no fear of needing more twist. Or, they could have increased the length of the polymer tip to increase the overall length of the bullet while keeping weight down. We also have to remember that in the 338 bore, 25 grains of bullet is not all that much, just look at the pictures of the two bullets, they are not noticably different in appearance. Hell, they make a 200 gr 30 cal accubond with nearly a .6 BC, why they did not design a bullet to at least match this is a bit of a shame in my opinion. A .6 BC bullet with the terminal performance of the Accubond would have been even better and they would have had no issues with stability and accuracy. Course, they sell many millons more bullets then I shoot every year so I guess I should not question them but it does seem they are not willing to take any chances with long range bullets. [/QUOTE]
