Was looking for the experienced based input on bullets for the 300WSM for on game performance from deer to elk at impact velocities from 100-700 yards. Not just my 300WSM shoots NADs awesome all my rifles shoot them very well.
Been kinda outa touch with bullet technology developments for a few years and was wondering if anyone has come up with a bullet for use on deer or elk that can all around out perform the Nosler Accubond that is actually currently widely available.
I have a quite large number of both 180 and 200 grain .308 Nosler Accubonds but was wondering if anything new is available that is worth trying out in the bonded core bullet category.

Hard to beat the AB. I was a die hard AB fan for a long time.
But now they are up to solid copper prices, and so far the hammer is as good or better than the accubond, and far easier to develope loads for, and faster. Win win win

If want a bullet that is consistent and accurate. If your rifle shoots accubonds well, my advice is stick with them.

I agree whole heartedly, but I'm just looking for a reason to reload and shoot some more.

Sorry to hear the price increase for the NAB's. I shot them when they very first came out of my 338wm and they gave me my best groups I ever achieved from my M700 SST/SYN 338wm. So I gave the 180's a try in my 300wsm and was utterly amazed at the itsy bitsy groups I got using IMR 4831 Norma and WIN brass and Federal M/LRG/RFL primers. So when a VG price on both the 180 and 200 came up at the Nosler Pro shop I bought a bunch.
I haven't ever given a mono bullet a try in any of my calibers, save for my smokeless ML and 12ga slug guns.

Hammers, easy load development, and they ship the day they are ordered. Just remember to push them as fast as possible. Speed kills!

While I have killed trainloads of animals with AB's from .30 down to .243 they all had one thing in common… huge blood shot mess. I made the move to loading the federal TBT in .30 and .284 and been much happier with the results on the animals. Virtually no blood shot mess to deal with.

When they first came out the nab, I bought more then a few ,and yes very accurate,but wasted meat like a nbt,I don't believe their bonded as good as they could have been , they hold up better at longer ranges then most shoot,450-625 yds , Speer hot cores held up better at 100,200& 300 yds .
