[QUOTE="John Burns, post: 11215, member: 2164"] I have shot the 160 Accu bond and it has a lower BC than the 150 Scirroco. I have not shot the 140 TSX but Barnes give it a .477 BC (G1). They are usually pretty close. They publish a .529 for the 150 XBT and I get a real .510 or so. (I use a .245 on the G7 so this is close.) There is not a nickels worth of difference at 600 yds with the slight speed advantage the 140 offers over the 150. From what I have seen with one bull the accu bond is harder (338 ultra). I would have liked some more expansion. The bull was hit to far back on a quartering shot and the bullet only got one lung.(535 yds) An hour later when we found him he could still run. I thought the bullet should have done more damage. We examined the wound channel and it was not as big as I would have expected. The Nosler has some antimony in the core and a guilding metal jacket where the Swift is pure lead core and pure copper jacket. If the bullet had been placed further forward I assume no follow up would have been neccesary but with that experience and the lower BC of the Noslers I think the Swift bullets work better for what I want a bullet to do. The Nosler have always shot well in my limited experience but Nosler always could make a bullet shoot well. [ 07-01-2004: Message edited by: John Burns ] [/QUOTE]
