Any of you all try the Nosler accubond 180’s?

I was using the Nosler BT 180’s for the last couple of years in my 338 WinMag with 73grns of IMR 4350 and a cci mag primer and was getting 1” or less groupings at an avg of 3100 ftps I got 5 dear and one Black Bear with these loads with varying results on the BT effects. When they hit the boiler room, little hole in, not much bigger hole out. On muscle mass, like a neck a shot little hole in, massive damage on the outward side. Still I loved the projectile because it was like using my mouse whilst hunting, just point and click. The sectional density and ballistic coefficient are the same for the BT and the accubond, So I’d like to give them a try over the BT.

Edit just checked my notes 72.5grns IMR 4350
