Product Overview
The Nosler AccuBond represents premium bonded bullet technology paired with one of the most powerful commercial cartridges available. Weatherby loads this 180-grain bullet to 3250 fps, producing 4223 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 0.507 ballistic coefficient places it among the most aerodynamic hunting bullets in this weight class, translating that initial velocity into flat trajectories and retained energy at distance.
What separates the AccuBond from conventional bullets is its bonded construction. The lead core is molecularly fused to the copper jacket through a proprietary process that prevents separation during expansion. A standard cup-and-core bullet can shed its jacket at magnum velocities, leaving only the core to continue penetrating. The AccuBond holds together, retaining 60-70% of its original weight while expanding to nearly twice its diameter. This means deep, straight-line penetration through heavy muscle and bone.
Elk hunters specifically will appreciate what this load offers. When a bull quarters toward you and you need to drive a bullet through the shoulder to reach the vitals, bonded construction becomes essential. The AccuBond handles those tough angles that would cause lesser bullets to fail. It also performs well on deer, though some hunters find bonded bullets over-penetrate lighter game. For hunters who primarily pursue elk or need one load capable of handling anything from whitetail to moose, this combination of velocity, BC, and terminal performance sits at the top of the class.
- Bonded construction retains 60-70% of original weight for deep penetration through heavy bone and muscle
- The 0.507 BC ranks among the best for 180-grain hunting bullets, minimizing drop and drift
- High 3250 fps velocity maximizes the .300 Weatherby's trajectory advantage
- Polymer tip initiates expansion reliably while protecting the bullet during feeding
- Versatile terminal performance handles game from deer to moose effectively
- Premium pricing reflects the advanced bullet technology and may limit practice volume
- Bonded bullets can over-penetrate deer-sized game, exiting with energy that could have been transferred
- The significant recoil of heavy bullets in .300 Weatherby requires practice to shoot accurately
- Availability can be inconsistent for specialty premium ammunition
