[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 449571, member: 10723"] I am loading a 280 Rem with both 140 Accubonds and 140 Nosler BT. I found that with the exact same powder (RL-19) and load 57.0 grains my Remington 700 CDL shot the loads into almost the same point of impact and with almost the same accuracy-less than one inch at 100 yards. I was comfortable enough with these loads that I felt that I could take a shot with either load out to 400 yards without changing my scope. I took these loads to Nebraska on a deer hunt with the plan of using the BT's for long shots and the Accubonds for close shots. I shot my buck at 100 yards with the BT and was not totally happy with the results eventhough the buck only ran 30 yards. I found the copper jacket in the hide on the opposite side, after blowing up on the ribs going in. I would not have wanted to have shot an elk with this bullets. I know that it is possible that a 165 grain BT may have reacted differently. I have loaded and shot deer with the 140 Accubonds and they do not act like the BT. I have yet to recover an Accubond from a deer, they have all exited after doing great internal damage. [/QUOTE]
