[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2312771, member: 10755"] I call BS on the Accubond being soft in the beginning of production. I contacted Nosler when they were first announced and got several boxes from them in varying weights to try. The bullets were, and still are, designed for different velocities and cartridges. The 150g 30 cal Accubond is designed around 308 velocities, the 165g and 180g are designed around 30-06 velocities and the 180g will also handle 30 magnums. The 200g is designed for 300 Weatherby velocities and other 30 magnums. The 7’s run the same, the lighter the bullet the less velocity they are designed for. People using the lightweight bullets in super magnums are pushing the limits of the bullet. This was a common thing early on, hence the so called bullet failures. I use Accubonds in 25 cal, 26 cal, 27 cal, 28 cal, 30 cal, 33 cal and 37 cal. I have never had a bullet failure with them….have had some weird results from the 37 cal 260g Accubonds on water buff, bullets expanded funny going into hips, but still held together and mushroomed but the folded back section broke off. I find their performance Stella in my eyes. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
