Solved from this product's advertised 3000 fps, 175gr bullet and G1 BC 0.648, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for 7mm PRC.
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
Nosler sells its Trophy Grade 175-grain AccuBond LR as a hunting load. The AccuBond Long Range is a bonded, polymer-tipped hunting bullet with a boat tail, rated at a G1 BC of .648, and it leaves the muzzle at 3,000 fps.
Compared with Hornady's Precision Hunter 175-grain ELD-X, the Nosler matches its weight, speed and recoil, and the ELD-X's G1 BC of .689 buys it only a little. At 500 yards, a steady 10 mph wind blowing straight across the range pushes both bullets about 12 inches sideways. Compared with Federal's Terminal Ascent 170-grain, another bonded, tipped bullet with a G1 BC of .646, the Nosler starts 50 fps faster. Zeroed at 100 yards, the Nosler drops about 42 inches at 500 and the Terminal Ascent about 43. The Terminal Ascent kicks about 7 percent less in the same rifle.
Buy the Nosler if you want a bonded 175-grain bullet for hunting out to 500 yards. Pick the Precision Hunter or Federal's Premium 175-grain ELD-X if you want a little more energy at 500 yards and do not need a bonded bullet. Pick the Terminal Ascent if you want a bonded bullet with a little less recoil. Pick Weatherby's Select Plus 150-grain Swift Scirocco if recoil matters most; it kicks about 25 percent less.
- Carries 2,072 ft-lbs at 500 yards against 1,804 for Hornady's Outfitter 160-grain CX
- Drifts about 3 inches less than Weatherby's Select Plus 150-grain Swift Scirocco at 500 yards in a 10 mph crosswind
- Leaves the muzzle at the same 3,000 fps as Hornady's Precision Hunter 175-grain ELD-X, with a bonded bullet
- Carries 2,072 ft-lbs at 500 yards against 2,141 for Federal's Premium 175-grain ELD-X
- Kicks about 20 percent more than Hornady's Outfitter 160-grain CX in the same rifle
- Leaves the muzzle 50 fps slower than Weatherby's Select Plus 150-grain Swift Scirocco
