[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 313761, member: 10178"] I to have never had problems killing game clean with plain old Sierra, Hornady or Speer cup and core bullets over my 40 years of big game hunting. I have been able to work up loads with them that equal most match bullet accuracy also. I have not tried any of the NEW solid or bonded bullets on game yet. I will be using 130 Nosler Accubonds in a 27 3/4" Barreled 264 Win mag this deer season some for the simple reason that it pushed the 120 gr Nosler ballistic tips and Sierra bullet too fast for my liking, 3500 to 3600 fps. I am afraid that for a close shot that I might get the bullet might come apart too quick. I was going to go with the 125 gr Nosler Partition but saw the Accubonds were less expensive and from what I read and have been told from others that they are a good combonation of the Ballistic tip and the Partition all roled into one. They sure do shoot good, 100 yard groups in the .4's at 3350 fps. We will see how they do on game in October. [/QUOTE]
