I think you're right. Alot going on in a very short time with ol' Murphy ever on the prowl.
Like you, I like the boiler room shot, especially for meat, as it bleeds out good.
If it absolutely positively has to be anchored on the spot that's another story.
Hope you get the performance you are after, however you get it.
Yeah, I think it's pretty clear here that was a bogus batch of bullets. If the bonding was bad and if a tip had fallen off leaving a huge, gaping hollow point those things would have to be hand grenades.
On the other hand, as much as I love them, the AccuBonds (even the ones that are OK) aren't perfect. I'm really looking forward to getting some bonded 240's from Richard--they should penetrate like no AccuBond can and offer a BC in a different zipcode from any TSX's. They may be a lot closer to perfect for sub 600 shots on big critters....
Just a quick note.
I loaded some 150 Accubonds in my Rem.'06 this year, the bullets were "key holing" at 100yrds. This has never happened with any other bullet that I have tried through this gun in the last 8 yrs.
The rifle shoots the 150 Nosler Bal.Tips with in 1/2" groups at 100.
So next year it will be a Barnes "x" from now on (if they shoot good that is).
