RE: Accubond
I don't want to have to doubt what is going to happen when my bullet hits!
I shot a muley at 438 yards and a bull elk at 683 yards with my 300WM and 200gr Accubonds this year. The muley was damaged impressively. The elk was too, he absorbed 4 hits without reacting before going down but the bullet did its job. Then I handed my rifle to another hunter who gunned down a whitetail at about 200 yards. He thought it was already wounded so took a Texas heart shot. I was not there when they cleaned it but was told noone present had ever seen a deer so blown up inside from butt to chest.
Bottom line, I don't mind paying a few extra cents for the insurance the bullet offers. Now if I were shooting a slower round like a 30-06 and whitetails 200 yards and under, I might just go cheaper too.
