[QUOTE="bigbull, post: 1665165, member: 74097"] big, It is scary to think that Accubonds which are a controlled expansion bonded bullet has a more explosive effect on game than an open point match bullet like Berger, I could not imagine in my wildest dreams that an Accubond will fragment more than a Berger. I have a bunch of friends that really like shooting Bergers, mostly for their long range ballistic advantages but they have not always been proud of the condition of their harvest, I beg to differ on the eating to within an inch comment you made, I have seen the opposite with huge bloodshot areas. The only hole that I can eat to within an inch is one made by an arrow or some slowpoke caliber like the 35 Rem that I use sometimes. I think manufacturers have done a great job of supplying good controlled expansion bullets that today cover a much larger velocity range than in the past but I do not believe that Berger is one of them, Bergers tend to work better at long range where the velocity has tapered off a bit and this is where most of their kills have been recorded, not many choose those bullets because they hold together better than some type of controlled expansion bullet like Accubonds, most know that the AB are better suited at shorter range impacts because of the broader velocity operating range, that is my opinion.
