Re: NOSLER ACCUBOND 200 GR in a .308 ??
I did a little load workup with them a while back.
308 Win
Factory 700 VS barrel
1/12 twist
20.5" BBL
WW brass, fireformed & neck-sized
CCI 200
200 Accubond, moly’d
2.82" OAL
RL-17
48 gr - 2485 fps, very low pressure
50 gr – 2620 fps,
200gr Accubonds on the right. I was shooting in a 10-20 mph f/v wind, and the lateral spread is a lot to do with that.

What are you going to do with this load? If it`s going to be used for hunting, make sure the big game animal is close to insure proper bullet expansion. A 308 doesn`t really have enough gas in the tank for that much payload.

How much retained velocity does a 200gr AB need to open up?

If you start a 200gr AB at a modest 2500 fps, it will retain 1800+ fps to 500 yards, down at sea-level.
It only gets better when you go up the hill.

I had very similar results to what MM posted. I was also using R17 and a 26" 1/12 bbl. I dont remember the load info off the top of my head but I will dig it out tomorrow and post my findings. I got the idea to try them when I was trying to make the 208 Amax work in that same rifle. I wasnt having any luck at getting the 208 to stabilize.
