[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1100635, member: 88320"] Nosler accubonds are a great combo of a good BC long range and all around hunting bullet. They are easy to get accurate loads for and average about 60-70% retention in the elk and deer I have shot. They are my most used hunting bullet. I have shot 10 plus elk and Oryx (distances 70-500 yards) with 180 gr ballistic tips from a 300 win mag. Bullets fragment like Berger's with about 40-50% retention. They are also a descent BC and good hunting bullet at a lower cost. I too do not prefer the real high retention bullets like Barnes for hunting (unless dangerous game), I prefer the fragmenting. In my experience Barnes have been harder to get to shoot accurately seem to be more picky or just my guns? Animals I have seen shot with Barnes bullets performed just as advertised. I haven't shot any animals with Berger's yet but the only knock I have heard is they can do some major fragmenting. That might be a concern. Another good all around bullet is the Sirocco 2. They have a good BC and perform well. I shot a Coues deer at 650 yards with out of a 6.5-06 wit the 130 gr and bullet performed well with good trauma. I was concerned the bullet wouldn't mushroom good at that distance but it did. [/QUOTE]
