Default Accubond

Yes, I have the highest regard for accubond. I've loaded them for my .308 and 7 mag. But quite frankly they're a little more difficult to enjoy at one dollar a bullet. I'm having a grand old time with the Sierras at $.50 a bullet in. I want to test the penetration of the sierra 215's I went to the range with two white oak boards, one at an inch and a half thick and the other three-quarter inches thick. I stood them up about a foot apart and shot through them to see how the bullet would penetrate through both boards. Whether I hit the 3/4" board first or the 1-1/2" board, the bullet drilled a .338 hole straight thru both of them. Recovered one bullet behind the target. The bullet had shed the front half of the core but it look like the whole jacket was still there but ripped open peeled back. And 100 yards for the 215 blue three-quarter inch hole through half inch plate steel. Lordy, I just can't believe I need a better bullet that.
This is really just a fantasy rifle of mine. The other cartridges I have are plenty good for the game I have around here I won't be able to afford elk hunting any more. I just love to shoot paper
