[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1128147, member: 30902"] I'm curious, did any of those shots hit hard bone as in leg, shoulder, or spine or did they all hit soft tissue and/or rib? I've shot a lot of Accubonds on game and was pleased with them but they were all in 6.8, 7mm or 30 cal and none of those were loaded at RUM velocities. I had a similar problem with some Nosler ballistic tips many years ago and was fortunate to recover a few of them. They had essentially turned completely inside out with the inside base of the bullet becoming the leading edge with the rest simple folded straight back with minimal expansion and roughly caliber diameter wound channel through the whole animal. The few I was actually able to recover and evaluate were full length body shots on big hogs that managed not to hit hard bone. The longer you shoot the more weird stuff happens. If I had the same experience you had with five consecutive shots I'd think I'd had the all time run of "bullet bad luck". Glad to see though that you recovered all of your animals and pasted huge smiles on the kids faces! [/QUOTE]
