Product Overview
Nosler's Trophy Grade line represents their finest factory ammunition, and this AccuBond loading demonstrates that commitment to quality. The 180-grain bonded bullet launches at 3175 fps with 4028 ft-lbs of energy. While slightly slower than Weatherby's own AccuBond load, the Nosler offering uses their premium brass cases that many handloaders specifically seek out for their consistency and reloadability.
The AccuBond bullet combines the accuracy benefits of a polymer tip and boat tail with the terminal performance of bonded construction. The tip protects the bullet during magazine feeding and flight, then initiates expansion on impact. The molecularly bonded core remains attached to the jacket as the bullet mushrooms, preventing the fragmentation that compromises penetration. This bullet design has built an exceptional reputation among serious big game hunters.
Elk and moose hunters gravitate toward this load for its reliable penetration on tough quartering shots. The 0.507 BC keeps the bullet flying true at the extended ranges common in western hunting, while the bonded construction ensures the bullet performs when it arrives. Hunters who reload will particularly appreciate the Nosler brass, which many consider among the best available. For those who want premium components throughout and proven terminal performance on large game, this Trophy Grade offering delivers.
- Nosler brass cases are highly regarded by handloaders for exceptional consistency and durability
- Bonded AccuBond bullet retains 60-70% weight for reliable penetration on elk and moose
- Trophy Grade quality control ensures consistent velocity and accuracy across the production run
- The 0.507 BC provides excellent long-range ballistics with reduced wind drift
- Polymer tip and boat tail design contribute to match-grade accuracy potential
- The 3175 fps velocity runs 75 fps slower than Weatherby's own AccuBond loading
- Premium Trophy Grade pricing places this among the most expensive factory ammunition
- Can be difficult to find in stock due to limited production and high demand
