Default RE: .300 ultra mag ammo help

I have seen limited results of game taken with the 150gr -7mm scirroccos and I have mixed feelings about them.They did expand well and hold together but they do seem to expand an awful lot which limits penetration on larger game.They also tend to cause a lot more copper fouling than other bullets.The worst problem however is that although they do shoot well in some guns ,many guns including my own,won't shoot them accurately.
I have taken five elk and two moose so far with my 300ultramags using 180gr ballistic tips.The results were good but I am looking forward to trying the new 180gr accubond in my 300ultramags when they become available in canada.The idea of ballistic tip accuracy and ballistic co-efficient combined with a bonded core that holds together and penetrates like a partition would seem to be the best of both worlds.
