338 RUM shoots Accubond bullets
« on: September 28, 2008, 01:42:05 PM »
Has anyone shot those 200gr Nosler Accubond ? If so how fast did they go FPS. I guess I'll try them sometime. I thought someone might have shot them. I know my friend has used them using his 338 Win in a Ruger rifle and they went 3000 FPS. I know they will go more FPS out of a 338 RUM.

The 200 gr AB clocked 3205 fps from my M700 LSS 338 RUM.

Recovered 200 gr AB's from water jugs-


Group at 440 yds, scope at the time was a Leupold Vari X III 2.5x8 w/ M1 dials.

I loaded a box and shot them, but did not chrony them.  Did not like their performance, did not seem to be as consistent as the 225gr.

Sourdough, 

Yes I know those 225 accubond bullets group pretty tight. I just recently sighted those 225 bullets in on my 338 RUM. I saw a couple boxes of those 200gr accubond bullets  in my area for bullets. I don't know when I bought them thats why I'm asking.
