[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 384088, member: 505"] Nobody is more surprised than me. The standard 225 grain SST. I spent a lot of money on bullets and working up new loads in several of my 338's retooling to the high BC 225 Accubond. I saw three bullets this year with complete jacket seperation and fragmentation on elk. Basically nothing remaining but fragments through the wound channel. I had to switch from the 200 grain ballistic tip because they quit making it. It was one of the best performing bullets I have ever used. I tried the 225 SST and it performed perfectly on game but the BC listed was well below the Accubond so I retooled again to the Accubond. I can not understand nosler replacing the 200 grain ballistic tip with a much more expensive bullet calling it a premium bullet and it is not near the quality of the 200 ballistic tip. I will never use another and am now retooling again to something else. The SST has great performance on game but the advertised BC is low. I can't understand that because looking at it and the accubond they are so similar. But I had rather have a bullet that performs first and look at BC second. Not that much difference really in shooting it. I took an elk at 914 with the SST and the BC didn't make much difference there. The 225 AB is extremely accurate and has the high BC to go with it, but it does not perform on game worth a flip. I have at least five boxes of 225 accubonds I will sale at a bargain if anybody wants them. Just give me time to get them unpacked after moving. [/QUOTE]
