[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 1133420, member: 2567"] Huntin Fool, The 225 accubond was my go to bullet in my 338 rum for quite a while. I killed numerous mule deer and quite a few elk with the bullets and never had a failure. One year I went to the black hills and tried to recover a 225 in a white tail. I killed 2 does and a buck using frontal shots on the does and recovered 0 bullets but all were DRT. I think nosler has made some bad batches of the 225. My go to bullet right now is the 300 gr Berger OTM and with the exception of extreme expansion, every animal I have shot has been DRT with the exception of a bull shot at 750 yards that made it 40 yards and piled up.
