Bullet and Load Design
The AccuBond uses a bonded core, a white polymer tip, and a boat-tail base. Nosler positions this Trophy Grade load for deer-sized game, with the bullet designed to combine expansion with weight retention.
The 70 gr bullet is heavy for 223 Remington. Nosler lists a 24-inch, 1-in-9-inch test barrel. Hunters should confirm local caliber and ammunition rules, reliable stabilization, and terminal suitability for the intended animal and distance.
Best Uses
Good fit:
- Deer-sized game where 223 Remington is legal and appropriate
- Predator or hog hunting when the bullet and cartridge meet local requirements
- Rifles that reliably stabilize a 70 gr bullet
Not the right tool for:
- Jurisdictions that prohibit 223 Remington for the intended game
- Rifles that do not stabilize heavy 223 bullets
- Treating a factory trajectory table as a substitute for field verification
Reliability Notes
Nosler describes Trophy Grade ammunition as a premium factory line loaded with Nosler bullets and brass. Confirm feeding, chambering, zero, and point of impact in the specific rifle and ammunition lot before hunting.
