The Nosler AccuBond 338 caliber 225-grain bullets deliver exceptional terminal performance through their unique bonded-core construction. These spitzer point projectiles maintain structural integrity at high velocities while providing controlled expansion across all hunting ranges.
What Makes This Different
AccuBond technology fuses the lead core to the copper-alloy jacket through a proprietary bonding process, eliminating core separation that plagues conventional bullets. This construction delivers 60-70% weight retention compared to 40-50% for standard cup-and-core designs. The white polymer tip initiates expansion at lower velocities while the boat-tail base maintains ballistic efficiency downrange.
Key Features
- Bonded lead core prevents jacket separation for deep penetration
- 225-grain weight optimized for .338 Winchester Magnum and similar cartridges
- Spitzer point profile with polymer tip for rapid expansion initiation
- Boat-tail design reduces drag and maintains velocity at extended ranges
- Copper-alloy jacket engineered for controlled mushrooming
- 50-count box provides sufficient quantity for load development and hunting
- Ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.550 for flat trajectory performance
Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy in quality rifles when properly loaded. The 225-grain weight handles large game from elk to moose while maintaining adequate velocity for 400+ yard shots. Temperature stability remains consistent from -20°F to 140°F, making these bullets suitable for diverse hunting conditions from Alaska to Africa.
