I handload and have used Hornady SST's, Barnes TSX, Ballistic Tips and Accubonds. The Nosler Accubonds have been the best I've used so far from ranges as close as 20 yards (where most bullets will "blow up" at high velocity) to as far away as 400 plus. I shot a large doe this year ranged at 413 and passed through after completely destroying the internals. I feel its the best all around bullet at least for my needs. CJ
