[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 907921, member: 30902"] Actually you did which is why I specifically asked you about it. I think you're picking nits here since we all know that when bullets fall below their recommended velocities expansion problems occur. I don't shoot the Barnes bullets any more so I don't keep up with what they are publishing. No, but then long range hunters are a tiny fraction of the market. If they are making claims that the bullets will expand below 2000fps they should have testing data to show it. An assumption. I have yet to have Accubonds fail to expand at any range I've shot game using them but admittedly I've not tested them at range with ballistic gel. I measure a bullets effectiveness by how it performs on game. BTW Nosler shows minimum velocity for expansion of the AB's at 1800FPS, not 1300 [url]http://www.nosler.com/accubond[/url] They show 1300fps for the AB LR's. [url]http://www.nosler.com/accubond-long-range[/url] Have you asked them to provide data to show they in fact will open up at 1,300fps? [/QUOTE]
