at 7mm/08 velocities the BT will work well, I shoot the 140 BT's to 3550 fps on deer with no troubles, I use accubonds in my LR 7mm AM, don't need them for long range but I'm not sure what would happen if I put a BT into a deers shoulder if I come accrossed a "booner" at 50 yrds don't think a BT would survive a 3600 fps impact on bone, I know this much though the accubonds will penetrate.

Ridge Runner, what is that cartridge (and load) that will produce 3550 FPS with a 140-grain 7mm bullet?
When I was working a load up for my 7mm RUM with Barnes TSX bullets I believe it was AR25that produced 3600 FPS on my chronograph. I ended up using Retumbo which was in the 3400 range. The 3600 FPS load was a little too hot for my liking!
