[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2569454, member: 106845"] The Long Range Accubonds are a bit of a different beast. They’re more of a secant ogive versus the regular Accubond, so they tend to be pickier about seating depth (jump to the lands). They can require a bit more tweaking during load development to get to shoot well. They’re also made with a softer core. I’ve had random issues with about any Nosler bullet with accuracy though. Their heavily tapered jackets seem to have issues with all being concentric. If you get one that’s not concentric, it can induce an imbalance in flight at end up as a flier on target, or wreck your shot placement on game. The further shot, the worse the effect. Either version of Accubond tends to do well impacting above 1800fps, but being bonded requires good shot placement and a good deal of resistance upon impact helps too. Behind the shoulder shots, especially between ribs, can result in narrow wounding even at higher impact velocities. [/QUOTE]
