[QUOTE="winmag, post: 401052, member: 22166"] No hands on with .25 cal, but for close in range Id look at Swift, Accubond for mid range, and for an all round long mid or short range Id go TTSX. My opinion is that a bullet shot at real high velocity at close range(say you jump one at 100yds or less) tends to blow up on impact with bone, or alter its course drasticly. I personally dont like that. I want a tough bonded bullet at closer range-Swift. Mid range IMO-Accubond, But at long range Id want a bullet that will reliably expand at extended ranges with lower velocitys. IMO the TTSX-being a monometal will retain the wt. durring and after expansion near or far, and *should* open at lower velocity due to the tip, while retaining its course in a more predictable line. To sum it up; Swift-for up close and personal-IMO Accubond-for 1-400ish- again IMO, And my number 1 all round pic in this case- TTSX-near-mid-or far, for all round and long range performance with a more predictable course after impact due to retained wt. and shape,-yet again IMO. Heck hit em in the right spot with any good bullet in this type of class, INI-MEENI-MINI-MO, pick your favorite and most accurate, and your critter is down. [/QUOTE]
