The season hasn't even come to a close and yet another reloading project has been added to the mix...should be a good one!


Bend, Ore. – October 31, 2012 – Nosler, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of their new line of AccuBond® Long Range bullets. Developed through a combination of bullet manufacturing techniques that are unique to Nosler, the design of the AccuBond®-LR allows for the highest B.C. possible in a bullet of the same caliber and weight. Designed with an optimum performance window ranging from 3,200fps to 1,300fps, the unique tapered jacket geometry and proprietary
bonding process of the AccuBond®-LR allow it to expand rapidly for effective energy transfer and significant tissue damage while retaining sufficient weight to ensure deep penetration into the vitals. The AccuBond® bonding process allows the AccuBond®-LR to perform reliably on game throughout the entire velocity range, eliminating the problem of being “too close” often encountered with other high-B.C. bullets. The high-performance boat tail, long ogive, and polymer tip combine to make the AccuBond®-LR the sleekest, flattest- shooting, bonded, hunting bullet ever created. The ogive of the AccuBond®-LR is designed to provide excellent accuracy in a wide variety of firearms without the necessity of being loaded close to or in contact with the lands. The new AccuBond®-LR will be packaged in 100 count boxes, and will initially be available in the following calibers and weights.

If this isn't a misprint, these should work fantastic from the shortgun.


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

That makes a fantastic bullet fantasticer. I routinely do deer out to 550 yds. with the 6.5/.284 XP and old 130 AB. Can't wait to see how much more I can do.

Hey Ernie,

The new 6.5 mm 129 gr. has got me inspired. I am going to look into these and work up some loads for my 6.5 JDJ for next time I shoot steel with you.

BTW, thanks for the info, SChunter!

I worked up the first handloads for my Competitor .308 with 150 Accubonds. 45.5 gr Reloader 12, CCI BR-2 in a Rem. nickle case. Seated .005" freebore they shot one hole for the 1st shots at 25yds after bore sighting. This was after shooting 3 Winchester 150gr Ballistic Silvertip that were all over the place. It's kinda ironic that the "pet load" for all my .308 rifles shoots so good out of this pistol. Now onto 100 and 200 yds.
