NOSLER wants to see your success

[Corax]

Texas, 2005. 160 Gr Accubond, 7mm Rem Mag. Private land, elevated blind but no high fence or feeders. The shot was at about 70 yards with the deer quartering towards me. He went about 30 yards then into a tight circle. Between the photographer and me, we managed to get a smile and the whole deer, but not both at the same time.

This thread reminds me of the line "The best blood trails are the ones you don't actually have to follow."

Exactly! If anyone ever whines about Accubonds, Partitions, or Bts, all they have to do is look at this growing list. Outstanding thread.

What a great thread.

Colorado 2013. 180 grain Accubond from a handloaded 300 WSM. This hunt was a big change from my usual OYOA cow elk hunt - I cashed in my 13 preference points and went for a guided hunt in Unit 76.

One overlooked advantage of a guided hunt is that the guide tends to discourage you from shooting the first legal animal you see. After riding to close to 11,000 feet, then walking 3 miles in 8” of snow, if I had been alone I would have been checking to see if I had an either sex tag. We snuck as close as we could get, which was not close. I got a shot at the herd bull just before dark - he took two steps and fell down a bank. By the time we got to him it was black dark. We field dressed him by headlamps and came back the next morning to quarter and haul him out on horseback. When the guide skinned the head out, it was obvious he had been fighting – the whole side of his head was bruised. It looked like he had taken an antler point in the nostril. However he had about 8 cows with him, so I guess the other guy must have looked even worse.



My wife puts up with me chasing elk, but to her this is the real trophy. Bulls, cows, deer, those Accubonds work pretty good. Right now the freezer is looking pretty disorganized with a lot of empty space. Hopefully that will change in a couple of months. Time to donate some to my brother and sister, but I will hold off until I see how October shapes up. We put another dent in it today, with elk spaghetti.

The first challenge of hunting elk in Washington is getting a branched-antlered elk tag, then you have to find a bull. In 2011 I drew the tag, then one morning I saw this bull in a very steep basin feeding, I only saw him briefly and from nearly 700 yards away. The next morning I went back to the same basin just above where the bull had fed out of view, he was back feeding again, but much closer to where I had been the day before. He was just over 400 yards away and feeding towards the thick timber. After a 180 grain AccuBond from my 300 RUM and a short slide down the hillside, this is how and where he stopped.

Mouflon and axis deer from Lanai, HI. Both taken with a 260 Remington shooting 140 grain accubonds over 42 grains imr4350.

My first and probably only B&C animal in my life. Shot at about 50 yards with a 7mm Rem Mag. 150 grain Nosler e-Tip fired out of Winchester Supreme case. One shot.

Recovered the bullet. Only time I did not get 99.5% weight retention on one of the e-Tip bullets. At that close range and hitting bone it tore the petals off.

I've been shooting a lot of Nosler bullets the last 10 years or so. Mostly Accubonds and Partitions. Recently switched to the E-Tips and just picked up a box of the new Ballistic tip muzzleloader bullets to try. Hoping to put a 45cal hole in a G-bear and a caribou this fall. These were all shot with my rifles/reloads.

7mm Accubond from 280ai.

Still in development phase, but hope to provide updates later this fall. The video is my wifes 7x57 with 140 e-tips, and the 300 SAUM is getting loaded with 168 e-tips.
