Product Overview
Nosler Trophy Grade 180-grain AccuBond is a bonded .300 Weatherby Magnum load made for elk and moose sized game. The AccuBond bonds its lead core to the jacket and sits behind a polymer nose, over a boat tail. It leaves the muzzle at 3,175 fps with 4,028 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .507.
From a 200-yard zero it drops 5.7 inches at 300 and 16.4 inches at 400, arriving with 2,386 ft-lbs. A 100-yard zero puts it 21.3 inches low at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Weatherby's Select 180-grain InterLock starts 65 fps faster on a G1 BC of .425 and runs the same path to 400 yards from a 200-yard zero, getting there with 2,241 ft-lbs. Remington's Core-Lokt 180-grain PSP is the plainest of the three, 55 fps slower at the muzzle on a G1 BC of .383.
- The highest G1 BC of the loads compared, at .507
- Arrives at 400 yards ahead of Remington's Core-Lokt PSP, which carries 1,909 ft-lbs there
- A bonded core, where both loads compared use plain cup-and-core soft points
- Carries 167 ft-lbs less at the muzzle than Weatherby's Select InterLock
- A lead core, so it can't be used where lead-free ammunition is required
- Kicks a shade harder than Remington's Core-Lokt PSP in the same rifle
