What Nosler bullet do you prefer?

[Luked]

Trying to pick a bullet for a few rifles I have
Mainly going to be doing after whitetail, antelope, Mule Deer and Possibly Elk.
I am mainly looking at Nosler bullets but not sure which to go with
The main two I am looking at are the Accubond and the Partition.

Just looking for some ideas from you all with more experience.
I am still pretty new with reloading but I have managed to gain a few more rifles here recently that are pretty hard to find good ammo for.
The 300 WSM being the main one I want to load for.

 

[Dexter Grayson]

Can’t go wrong with either.

My 280 really likes the 140gr partition, but many of my other rifles like the accubond. Both are great performers. I’d give the nod toward the accubond for the higher BC, and just bc it seems to group better in most guns. My gpa has a 300 wsm that loves the 180gr accubond, but don’t overlook the 180gr ballistic silver tip.

 

[ElGuapo]

Accubond, hands down

 

[Dust Rider]

Nosler Ballistic Tip.
Every elk, pronghorn and deer we have shot have been one shot kills and did extensive internal damage to vitals.

I have never had Partitions shoot well for me, or had Accubonds shoot poorly. I also like Sierra Gamekings for their superb accuracy and find little difference in how Accubonds shoot in comparison. That has me using GKs for whitetail and pronghorn (at 1/2 the cost of ABs) and ABs for tougher game.

 

[N2TRKYS]

I shoot and like them both. I’ve never had a rifle not shoot a bullet I wanted to use accurately.

I'd load up the 180 nbt in the WSM for most of what you want. I've been pretty lucky getting it and the accubond to shoot the same load to the same POI. Admittedly the accubond often shot a larger group but I'd reserve it for larger game like elk or moose if close shots are expected.

I don't have a 300WSM but I prefer the Accubond on my 300WM - Nosler 180AB with 77gr of H1000 and Fed 215 primers.
But that's the only rifle I use Nosler in. My 6.5PRC and .270 prefer Bergers and my 300PRC and 7MM love some Hornady...

I have used lots of accubonds and ballistics tips. I have yet to have either one come apart. Not on moose, bear, goats, sheep, or deer.

 

[Wiscat]

Accubond is hard to beat. With prices/availability on the partitions lately I can see them moving that direction more seriously.

 

[ResearchinStuff]

ones with red tips (ie hornady) have been my choice lately, mostly because they're actually available to buy. Nosler has really struggled to keep products on the shelf.

 

[S-3 ranch]

AB had been great in a family.280rem
and partition has been the best for the .264wm
can’t go wrong with them if you can find them

 

[MtnW]

Never lost a animal shot with a Partition, although several required several rounds . One Yukon moose required 5 shots front on before giving up even though he never moved after the first shot. Most have been one and done.
340 Wea - 250 Par
300 H&H - 180 Par
7mm/08 - 140 Par
300 Wea - 200 Par
270 Win - 130 BT Never shot anything larger than whitetail and pronghorn
Several experienced friends use the AB with great results.

 

[Laelkhunter]

I would say the Partition, if your rifle shoots them well.

Partition

180 grain accubonds worked well on a few things with my 30-06.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Mainly going to be doing after whitetail, antelope, Mule Deer and Possibly Elk.

Ballistic tip and watch them drop in their tracks. The only one of those I would prefer an Accubond for would be elk, but you use the word possibly in front of it, so maybe buy a box of accubonds in case that ever happens.

Partitions are great, I’ve killed tons of game with them, but generally not as precise accuracy as the polymer tipped BTs and ABs. Id use partitions for a grizzly, bison, or moose hunt where your shots are going to be fairly close

300wsm + NBT splatter bullets = deadly and quick
