RE: Recovered Hornady Interbond pics
Wow! Most of the reports I've seen rated the Accubond right up with the Nosler Ballistic Tip for accuracy-very high indeed.
BTW-nice mushroom! Hitting the spine like that no doubt was a severe test of the bullet's ability to hang together. I had a similar hit on a central TX whitetail once with the 117-grain Sierra .257" PSPBTfrom a .25/'06. It also did a job on the spine, but the bullet disappeared into thin air....
