Solved from this product's advertised 2650 fps, 300gr bullet and G1 BC 0.720, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .338 Lapua Magnum.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
Winchester Expedition Big Game 300-grain AccuBond CT is a bonded polymer-tipped .338 Lapua Magnum load made for big game. The AccuBond CT has a lead core bonded to its jacket under a polymer tip. It leaves the muzzle at 2,650 fps with 4,679 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .720.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 8.0 inches at 300 and 22.6 inches at 400 with 3,162 ft-lbs left. From a 100-yard zero it drops 30.5 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's Precision Hunter 270-grain ELD-X starts 150 fps faster on a G1 BC of .757 and drops 19.8 inches at 400 from a 200-yard zero. Barnes' VOR-TX 280-grain LRX is the copper bullet of the three and drops 23.9 inches off that zero.
- The heaviest bullet of the loads compared, at 300 grains
- A bonded lead core, where Hornady's Precision Hunter 270-grain ELD-X is not bonded
- Still moving at 2,178 fps at 400 yards
- The hardest-kicking of the loads compared, about 16 percent more than Hornady's Precision Hunter 270-grain ELD-X in the same rifle
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
- Prvi Partizan's 240-grain Solid Copper is the softest-kicking load in the caliber, and lead-free like Barnes' VOR-TX 280-grain LRX
