nosler CLAIMS the accubond wont expand more than 2x original diameter...so the splat and mess factor may not be great with them...

im shooting them in my whelen just for that reason...they say they expand rapidly upto 2x its original diameter and then hold together and penetrate...sounds ideal for my deer/bear rifle...but we'll see...i want something that expands rapidly to anchor deer but tought enough to go drop a big ole bruin...and coming from a pump, i really like plastic tipped bullets...
