I Have loaded 200gr.Accubonds For hunting They have a B.C. of .450 while the Custom Competition has a B.C. of .520.If use the same Powder,Primer,Brass Ect.what kind of Ballistic differences would I be looking at?And can the Custom Comp be used for hunting?or just use them for target practice as I had planned to do from the start?
 
CC's are not recommended for hunting. Yes they are a hollow point. No, they are not designed for lethal expansion.

I shoot either the Hornady or Sierra 150 gn for white tail and actually took my last elk with one as well. If you are hunting the small bears, step up to the 170gn or 196gn Norma Oryx.

Typically the 200 gn bullets are not designed to perform at 8x57 velocities. They are designed for the 8mm Rem Mag. Most of the bullet makers state this in their manuals.
