[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1374610, member: 2736"] No problem. When I first built my 7 WSM I was trying to get the most performance and shot to shot consistency from a short action 7 mm. so learning from my experience with the 270 I decided to try the bonded core bullets for the WSM. To prove the bullets were very accurate and bullet performance was also very dependable and consistent no mater where you picked your POI, I set out to make different shots to test the overall performance of the bullets. (On one of my 7mm rifles I had an issue with bullets grenadeing on impact at Distances less than 500 yards and had to load two separate loads. One for close and one for 500+ yards. Velocities were off the charts so I cant blame the bullets but I did want a bullet that reacted the same or close to the same every time) . I picked Neck shots, shoulder shots, High shoulder shots, Spine shots, and the traditional, behind the shoulder in the heart/lung location. What I found was with the Accubond, exit wounds were almost exactly the same no matter where the shot placement was (Exit wound was between 1'' and 1 1/2''inches). This is what I call consistent and was what I was looking for. I normally don't make some of these shots but in case I misread the wind or distance it is nice to know I have a bullet that I can depend on. Shot placement is everything no matter which bullet you are using, But it is not a perfect world and Perfect shots are not always the end results . so a good dependable bullet is the tip of the day. I read all the time about how bullet XXXXX shoots and how high the BCs are but how poorly it performed on this one shot when it normally does great. I believe nothing I read and only half of what I see, so I end up proving to my self what is true and what is not. There is a lot more to picking a good bullet than looking at the highest BC or the best looking one. It must prove its self to me before It becomes my go to bullet. If a person tries to analyze why a bullet did not do what it should have the answer may be clear, it was the wrong bullet for the use. Not the bullets fault . J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
