Thread: Nosler Accubond Vs Ballistic Tip terminal performance

I feel the B Tips and AB need speed.
Which maybe why people find the 140 AB in 6.5 doesn't go that well.
Ive used the 130AB in the .260 and found them great, and really like the 142 ABLR in the .260 and Creedmoor

From my research on the 264 win mag, it is a prime candidate for the 140gr accubond. Reportedly the performance of the partition but better ballistically, but a wee bit tough when you get out a bit. the Speed of the 264 would help until it gets out there
It is a pity in its case the 142lrab is designed for the slightly faster twist than 99% of all the existing 264s. @Micky Duck, they have tried to make the LRAB just a little less tough for the longer shots
