[QUOTE="Machann, post: 829244, member: 36448"] For some reason it looks like Nosler send the better Accubonds to us over here in Africa. I used the 300gr (@2550fps) in my 375 H&H on a resent Zebra management cull. I took 4 zebra out of a herd in about 2 minutes time ranging from 150-180 and later two wounded ones. The herd first was a stallion look straight at me. I hit him straight in the middle of the chest and what happened next was phenomenal and nothing I’ve seen in my live in game management. Instead of the animal sort of jumping and picking up its front legs while dancing on the back legs, it picked up all four legs and dropped liked a headshot. Before I could gather myself, the one turned broad side looking at the stallion which had just rolled over. I hit her on the sergeant stripes. Her front legs gave way and tipped forward, rolled over and was stone dead. The next two was headshots without any problem. 5 and 6 was running shots on two zebras the guy wounded with a 300 Win Mag. The two wounded animals were both running away, quartering away, from us at between 180-250m. Both were hit behind the shoulder, lung shots and none of them went further than 50m before dropping. After examining the first zebra, I only hit vitals and no spine or nothing else. Yes, the 375 is much bigger but my feedback from USA client is that African game is much more tougher compared to dear, elk and moose they hunted. The guys who also use them in smaller calibres talk about the killing power. They do waste a little meat but they put game down. My friend also used them in his 30-06 on two zebra without any trouble and the correct shot placement. They didn’t drop immediately but with a little patience they didn’t went very far. I wish Nosler would send a few of those LR Accubods her for us to test and also speed up their development of the .338 LR Accubond. Could someone already confirm the BC values they advertise?
