140 NBT vs 140 Accubond

I have been getting good results (accuracy/speed) from the 140 BT in 7wsm and was wondering how the 140 accubond behaves comparitivly.

With all the talk of bullet frangibilty with the NBT at WSM speeds approaching 3300 I have just switched to the accubond without ever using the NBT on game!

Any speed differences at same load or POI difference?

Just wondering what to expect.

I have only compaired the 150gr ballistic tips and 150gr accubonds out of a 30-06Ai and they shot to roughlythe same POI the accubonds went about 1" higher in the groups but they grouped very well with the exact same load data as was used with the Ballistic tips.
Some guys say that they foul a little more than the BT's but I haven't noticed in a 3 groove Lilja

Point of impact and accuracy are identical in my model 70 . NBT works fine on lightly built game in my experience . Haven't noticed that the 140 accubond is noticeably better so far . Accubond won't give full penetration on chest shot feral donkeys which weigh perhaps 500lb . Maybe the 160gn would be a better choice for serious penetration ?
