I tried them in my 338, I used 225gr. Accubonds, the only thing I didnt like about them is out on the range while shooting, I had some in the magazine and actually had the tips break off under the recoil. I have never had this happen with any other polymer tip bullets that I have tried. I though that maybe I had a bad batch, I bought another box but yet to try them. My dads friend told me has experienced the same thing with them in his 270., so maybe it is common. I have never shot any animals with them so I dont know how they preform, but others seem to have great sucsess with them. After seeing the tips break off, last year for elk season I went back to the good ole stand by that all premium bullets have been compared to for years, the Nosler Partition.
