Product Overview
Winchester's Expedition 142-grain AccuBond LR is a bonded polymer-tipped 6.5 Creedmoor load made for big game. The AccuBond LR is a boat-tailed polymer-tipped bullet with its jacket bonded to the core. It leaves the muzzle at 2,700 fps with 2,298 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .625, the highest of the 6.5 Creedmoor hunting loads.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 7.9 inches at 300 and 22.4 inches at 400, where it still carries 1,465 ft-lbs. From a 100-yard zero it drops 30.0 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's Precision Hunter 143-grain ELD-X runs the same path at the same muzzle speed on a G1 BC of .623, with a plain lead core in place of a bonded one. Federal's Fusion 140-grain puts a bonded soft point at 2,725 fps on a lower G1 BC of .439, and drops 24.4 inches at 400 from a 200-yard zero.
- A bonded core, which Hornady's Precision Hunter 143-grain ELD-X leaves plain on much the same G1 BC
- Still carries 1,647 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- Drops 4.0 inches less at 400 yards than Sellier & Bellot's 140-grain SP from a 200-yard zero
- Among the harder-kicking loads in the caliber, about 5 percent above Norma's Whitetail 140-grain in the same rifle
- A lead core under the bonded jacket, so it cannot be used where lead-free ammunition is required
- Hornady's Precision Hunter 143-grain ELD-X matches its drop at 300 and 400 yards from either zero, on a plain core
