It shoots Plenty Flat enought for " Ethical Distance " Kills and the Accubond bullet is HARD to Beat for Expansion and Penetration ! 200 gr NAB will carry 1800 FPS to 800 yards !Originally Posted by hawk-i

It's more like .524 unless you work for Nosler's marketing dept. It won't matter, RJ won't get one anywayBC .588, isn't that kinda like putting touring tires on a 4x4?

I dumped a bull with my 270 and a handloaded 129gr LRX bullet at 50 yds. Years ago, I dumped a cow DRT at 120 yds with a 260 Rem and handloaded 130gr TSX. I shot another bull that with a 140gr TSX 7mm that took 3 bullets complete pass through. He was stubborn wouldn't go down but in the end only went 20 yds. Shot placement counts. I am advocate of well constructed bullets as well for elk and other critters. Draw your own conclusions from that, though you can probably see the theme with Barnes bullets. But I am starting to load up a 300 Win Mag with either a 180gr or 200gr Accubonds (which ever shoots better) for my elk hunting purposes, knowing that I could end up in long range shot territory out to 500 yds. I have a Tikka T3x with a brake installed to lighten the recoil (a Mitch Kendall special cut down to the prefect length - highly recommended!!) and it makes a 200gr pill feel more like a 270, if that. It actually feels like a 140gr from a 65CM to be honest. With a Tikka, you definitely benefit from that due to its light weight. Anyway, I digress... Happy hunting!

Its wind drift at range more than flat shooting that counts ...It shoots Plenty Flat enought for " Ethical Distance " Kills and the Accubond bullet is HARD to Beat for Expansion and Penetration ! 200 gr NAB will carry 1800 FPS to 800 yards !

I’ve killed one elk and I shot it with a .270win 130grain Federal Blue Box. I shot him at 230 yards. I hit him twice, but he was dead on his feet after the first. The second one was because he gave me another shot. Having said that I got myself a .338win this past winter. Not because I thought I needed it, but because I wanted it.
