The Nosler Trophy Grade 338 Winchester Magnum ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance with 225-grain AccuBond bullets engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration. This premium hunting ammunition combines Nosler's precision manufacturing with proven ballistic performance for big game applications.
What Makes This Different
The AccuBond bullet technology features a unique white polymer tip that initiates expansion while the tapered copper jacket and lead-alloy core remain bonded through impact. Unlike conventional bullets that may fragment or fail to expand consistently, the AccuBond maintains 60-70% weight retention across impact velocities from 1800 to 3200 fps. This controlled expansion creates larger wound channels while ensuring adequate penetration on large game animals.
Key Features
- 225-grain AccuBond bullets with polymer tip for reliable expansion
- Bonded core construction maintains bullet integrity through tough hide and bone
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for uniform pressure
- Muzzle velocity of approximately 2800 fps from 24-inch barrel
- Ballistic coefficient of 0.550 for flat trajectory and wind resistance
- 20 rounds per box packaged in protective foam inserts
- Manufactured to SAAMI specifications for reliable feeding and extraction
Field performance testing demonstrates consistent accuracy with sub-MOA capability in quality rifles. The 338 Winchester Magnum cartridge generates sufficient energy for elk, moose, and dangerous game at extended ranges while remaining manageable in standard-weight hunting rifles. The AccuBond bullet performs effectively from close-range timber hunting to open-country shots beyond 400 yards, maintaining expansion characteristics across this velocity range.
