Nosler Trophy Grade Ammunition 26 Nosler 129 Grain AccuBond Long Range Box of 20

Nosler 129 Grain AccuBond Long Range or Nosler AccuBond Long Range Bullets; New for 2018, we have had the Ballistic Coefficients (BC’s) of our AccuBond-Long Range (ABLR) bullets tested and verified with Doppler radar.

This has resulted in a revision of our published BC numbers to more accurately match real-world flight characteristics. Nosler 129 Grain AccuBond Long Range

Using Doppler radar to verify our BC’s allows us to provide the most accurate BC numbers to our customers while increasing the accuracy of long range ballistics calculations.

To perform this critical testing, we selected the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC) at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.

EMRTC is the largest privately owned ordnance and ballistic test facility outside the government, encompassing 40 square miles and over 30 test ranges. EMRTC is internationally recognized as a center for excellence in energetics and ballistics research and testing.

We are pleased to provide these highly accurate BC numbers and feel confident that they will bring a new degree of precision to your long-range ballistics calculations.

For the utmost accuracy, we recommend using the G7 BC when calculating trajectories with the ABLR bullet line. Nosler 129 Grain AccuBond Long Range

The AccuBond® -Long Range (LR) bullet line was developed in response to the escalating demand from long-range hunters who were asking for a hunting bullet that could keep up with today’s level of high-grade optics and ultra-high velocity cartridges in order to stretch practical shooting yardages past 1,000 yards; yet still perform on big-game animals.

Nosler AccuBond Long Range Bullets were specifically developed for the increasing popularity of long range hunting. Nosler’s unique manufacturing techniques allow them to produce a rapidly expanding bonded hunting bullet with the highest Ballistic Coefficient possible in a bullet of the same caliber and weight.

Nosler’s unique manufacturing techniques allow them to produce a rapidly expanding bonded hunting bullet with the highest Ballistic Coefficient possible in a bullet of the same caliber and weight. The bonding process eliminates the issue of being too close, a problem often associated with many of the other high hunting bullets. AccuBond Long Range Bullets’ long, sleek ogive was designed to produce outstanding accuracy in a wide variety of firearms without the necessity to be loaded close to or in contact with the lands.

Selecting the Right Grain Weight for Your Shooting Purposes

There are some things to consider when choosing the right grain to help with your shooting performance, including:

• Caliber – Caliber is the internal diameter of the barrel and is the first factor to consider when selecting ammunition. The rounds must fit the magazine, chamber, and barrel, which requires a specific shell size. Cartridges come in a range of calibers and grain. Heavier grain results in a larger projectile, but the difference is not always noticeable.
• Ballistics – The grain weight of ammunition will affect ballistics (velocity, energy, and overall shot performance). Ballistics considers the mechanics of how a shot behaves and is an important factor in choosing cartridge weight to match its purpose.

• Joules – Grain affects recoil energy (pushback the shooter feels from the gun once discharged) and the energy put downrange. This energy is expressed in a unit of measurement called joules. When you feel the recoil of standard grain, think about the following: heavier grain weight will have greater recoil force while lighter grain will have less. Likewise, grain weight affects the energy felt by the target.

Which Grain Weight Is Best for Shooting?

The answer to which grain weight is best depends on the type of shooting and which firearm you’re using. Here are some various applications and their recommended grain weight:

1. Routine Range Shooting

Understanding grain weight isn’t as important when first becoming familiar with various firearms. For beginners, there is a standard size and grain weight for all ammunition types and brands. For the range, the 55 grain for AR-15 and other 5.56/.223 rifles are adequate because you will aim at targets positioned in short to medium distances.

The unique tapered jacket and proprietary bonding process of the AccuBond®-Long Range (LR) bullet permits rapid expansion for effective energy transfer and maximum weight retention allowing for deep penetration and significant tissue damage across a broad range of velocities.

Engineered for devastating performance at all practical distances, the bullet’s sleek, high-performance boat-tail base combined with the polymer tip and long ogive provides accuracy, consistency and the down range punch necessary for clean kills in any situation. Holding up to the most extreme velocities, Nosler’s AccuBond®-Long Range (LR) bullet is built to perform.

The result is a bullet that flies true, penetrates deep, won’t cause extensive barrel fouling, and will retain 60-70% of its weight. The white polymer tip helps protect against deformation while initiating expansion upon impact.

Common Misconception About Grain Weight

Before we get into what grain weight is, let’s first talk about what grain weight is not. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that the grain weight listed on a box of ammunition represents powder weight or the overall power of the cartridge.

Some people connect the reference of grain weight as being a measurement of the “grains” of gunpowder in the ammo. However, it has nothing to do with that. Grain weight refers to the overall weight of the entire round that is projected from the gun. In fact, different gun powder formulas can have varying weights but still deliver comparable performance levels.

What Is Grain Weight? – Nosler 129 Grain AccuBond Long Range

The grain weight system is used to measure the mass of a piece of ammunition. Measuring in grain (gr) is a measuring system to describe the mass of the cartridge projectile (the part that is propelled forward from the firearm). These measurements of mass help determine the correct size of ammo to use for specific shooting purposes.

Understanding Grain Weight and Firearms

Rounds of ammunition for handguns and rifles come in cartridges made up of the following parts:

• Primer
• Propellant
• Casing
• Projectile

Shotgun shells are structurally different and require one more part known as a wad.

The weight of the projectile is measured in grains using the grain symbol gr. When converted using the metric system, there is approximately 7,000 grain in one pound. The weight of a paper clip is about 16 grain.

The mass of the 5.56 NATO rounds¹ for the M4 carbines is 62 grain, which equals around four paperclips. However, there are other versions of this ammunition for AR-15 rifles with 55 grain for a lighter projectile.

AccuBond Long Range Bullets’ long, sleek ogive was designed to produce outstanding accuracy in a wide variety of firearms without the necessity to be loaded close to or in contact with the lands.

Technical Information
⁍ Caliber: 6.5mm
⁍ Bullet Diameter: 0.264″
⁍ Bullet Weight: 129 Grains
⁍ Bullet Length: 1.350″
⁍ Bullet Style: Tipped Bonded Boat Tail
⁍ Bullet Coating: Non-coated

Ballistics Information:
⁍ Sectional Density: 0.264
⁍ Ballistic Coefficient: 0.561
⁍ Optimal Velocity Range: 1300 fps minimum-unlimited

In order to accommodate these extreme parameters, the AccuBond® -LR bullet was designed to have a minimum impact velocity of 1300fps in order to reliably expand or mushroom at those much longer distances, compared to the 1800fps minimum impact velocity of all other Nosler® hunting bullets.

Now what about close range performance? Because the lead core is bonded to the copper jacket, the AccuBond®-LR bullet will hold up to extreme velocities. To further assist performance at such a wide range of impact velocities, the copper jacket is tapered, meaning it is thin at the nose, becoming much thicker towards the boat-tail base.
