[QUOTE="Autorotate19, post: 415830, member: 20956"] I have killed 2 elk with the 180gr accubonds in a 300 rum. One was at 150 yards and the bullet completely exploded on impact of his front shoulder. I shot him again as he took off. He went 200 yards and layed down and died. Didnt recover either bullet, I think the first shot exploded on the shoulder and the second one passed through with little expansion. The second bull I took was at 50 yards and shot him right behind the front shoulder. Bull dropped and the bullet ended up under the skin on the opposite side. It was a perfect mushroom. I had a better experience with the barnes bullet. I have only taken one elk with them. I was chasing a heard of about 200 elk and there was two really big bulls in the heard. After awhile I finally caught up with em and had a clear shot at one of the big bulls. He was walking away from me at 150 yards, and I knew it was going to be my only clear shot at him so I took it. Shot him right square in the butt and by the time I could jack another shell in he was down. The bullet penetrated the full length of his body and exited on the right side of his chest. The chest cavity was mush. :D So in my limited experience with barnes and accubonds I liked the barnes a little better. I feel like they are super reliable when you need a lot of penetration for elk or very large game they are one of the best. [/QUOTE]
