Default Winchester Accubond

Is the Winchester Accubond bullet strong enough for elk, moose, bear or is the XP3 better. Looking for results from peoples experience using this bullet. If it makes a difference am shooting a 300 WSM.

The ammo may be Winchester but the Accubond bullet is by Nosler.

IMHO this is one of the best North American game bullets available. I shoot the 200gr bullet from a 300WM at 3000fps and have shot elk at 683 yds, muley at 432 yds, and whitetail at 200 yds. The bullet performed flawlessly each time.

An Accubond in the appropriate caliber is more than adequate.

Personally the Accubonds have proven worthy on 2 bull moose and 2 bull elk (grain/calibers used - 160gr/.284 & 225gr/.338). Side note my experience has shown they've been a good bullet to work with in terms of accuracy (as a reloader).

Sorry not much help on the XP3's as I don't know anybody who have used them for larger then deer.
