In particular, the 300 grain .375 H&H and 165 grain .30-06? Do they hold together or blow up, typically? I know they're considered "premium" bullets, but are they really? I'm starting to work up .375 H&H PG loads and would like to try them as an option in case the Barnes bullets leave too much copper in my barrel.

Thanks much!
 
I have shot 300 grain Accubonds in my 375 H&H, they are very accurate. I think they are great for plains game and some of the Big5.
 
No experience with the Accubonds, but I use Barnes TSX in 7mm Mag, 300 Mag, 375 H&H and 416 Rigby with no more copper fouling than I get with other premium bullets.
 
I shot the 260 gr AB up to eland, no Problems, all 1-shot clean kills (oryx, waterbuck, bwb, warthogs ) ...

Mannlicher
 
Thanks Mannlicher! What is "bwb"? I'm sure I should know, but I don't...

Usually Blue Wildebeest, but could be Black Wildebeest too.
 
I have shot 18 head of African game with a 9.3x63 using a 250 gr Accubond. Recovered 3 85-95% weight retention, and a perfect mushroom

That's a pretty good endorsement! Thanks.
 
I shoot 180 gr nosler AB in my 30-06. I use 2 different speeds on these bullets. 2480 f/s for bushveld (80-150m) and 2685 f/s for plains hunting. Both loads are on accuracy nodes an group 1/2" on 100 m. These bullets perform excellent.
I use local ( South Africa) Peregrine 270 gr bushmasters and 300 gr Swift A- frames in my 375 H&H.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.
