[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 450985, member: 22030"] My neighbor gets great results with his 110 accubonds started at 3450fps from his 257 weatherby. He is not a long range hunter, but has taken deer from under 100yds out to 300 with no "blowup" from his bullets on the close shots. I helped him load his buck from this year and he took it through both shoulders at 126yds and the bullet exited. It was a big bodied 4.5yr old midwestern buck. I'd not be afraid of this bullet for anything I'd shoot with a 25 cal rifle, and the bergers don't have that much better BC in 25 cal (.410 to .466). The accubonds have been much easier to load to fit a magazine and find good accuracy than the bergers in my experience, bergers are very accurate but more finicky about seating depth. Bergers work great also on deer, his girlfriend, my girlfriend, and another neighbor took deer with the new 87gr berger from my 243 and none of them went over 20ft after the shot. The accubond opens faster and penetrates farther than the berger. The berger opens slower but expands dramatically with reduced penetration once it opens. I've taken or seen taken 7 deer with the Berger and none went over 20ft after the shot, but all were taken with good broadside shots. I've taken or seen taken 13 head of game elk-deer size with the accubond and some went 50-100yds after the shot. All accubonds recovered were mushroomed perfectly and retained 65% or more of their weight, but most exited. I've not tried Barnes due to their lower BC. [/QUOTE]
