I had the same prob with Grand Slams
When Speer and Federal were bought out, Speer was instructed to stop making rifle cartridges; leave that to Federal. They (Federal) produced my old Speer Nitrex in .280 160gr Grand Slams for one year. Didn't sell enough so they dropped them. Then I tried to find the Fail Safe's in a 160grain. No luck, so I went with the Federal's in Nosler 160gr Accubonds. FIJI, I had no problems taking any of the Plains game in Africa. Kudu, Gemsbok, Blesbok, Warthog, Cape Hartebeast, my second Bushbuck, Impala, etc., all fell to one shot. I did shoot my Black Wildebeast 3 times but all 3 shots were fatal. I chose not to let him suffer as any of us would do, and they don't call them "poor man's Buffalo" for nothing. With good shot placement I think you'll be fine with the Accubonds, they really surprised me, and my PH. Best of luck this season and good hunting, grayghost
