[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 780655, member: 10"] Its really a pretty simple set up, the tricky thing is to figure out how much of the ogive needs to be removed and then getting a system that is repeatable. Not every bullet is perfect, still working on a few tweaks but it does pretty well. If Nosler stays on pace with past bullet releases, we should see the new bullets sometime around 2015!!!:rolleyes: Anyway, they had a huge opportunity to make a perfect long range big game bullet in their 300 gr, 338 cal accubond and they flubbed that badly. Not saying its a bad bullet, its accurate and terminally it is great but the baring surface is WAY to long which reduces top velocity potential in any chambering and the ogive design is no different then any of their other ogives and it should have been much more aggressive. They could have easily made a .800 BC bonded core, tipped bullet, unfortunately, they played it VERY safe and came up with a .700 BC bullet that is 50-75 fps slower then the SMK and 75-100 fps slower then the Berger of the same weight. FLUB!!!! I will believe their new LONG RANGE Accubonds will do what they say when I put them in the air and they match up to the computer models, until then, I will not hold my breath. I am not flaming Nosler in any way, I love their Accubonds, they just could be made more aggressively and still easily be stabilized by standard twist rates which for some reason is something that they just do not believe. Not sure why. [/QUOTE]
