[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1409177, member: 10755"] Interesting fact, I used to run Nosler & Speer Hot Cor’s side by side in the same rifle. ( I used to hunt LOTS of pigs!) This was before Accubonds were introduced, the only difference between the 2 was the fact that the Speer’s NEVER shed their core and more often than not the expansion was very similar, even at extended ranges. I found both would expand with the expanded portion close to the shank and unless very close or under 75yrds, the weight retained, even with the BT’s sheding the core, was around 60-70%. I have used a couple thousand 25 cal 100gr BT’s & 100gr Hot Cor’s in various 25-06’s & 257AI’s and cannot see a performance difference other than the BT’s have always been a little more accurate. The only bullet failure I have had was with a Hornady A-Max 208gr in 300WM that blew up spectacularly on the shoulder of a Sambar stag, which did nothing other than producing a large hole. The deer escaped, but I was able to harvest him the next day. The damage to his shoulder was like nothing I’ve seen before or since. I could fit my whole fist in the there. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
