[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1665217, member: 13632"] It's not the explosiveness of a bullet opening but the timing that causes the blood shot and mess, an accubond will be fully open before even entering the chest which is a huge blunt frontal area and a lot of bullet movement before being in the core. I've seen a mess with a Berger but it was shot placement on the front shoulder which I would say it was equal to any other bullet I would have put into the front shoulder only they get through the shoulder more consistently than I've seen an Accubond due to the exact thing that causes all the blood shot which is huge frontal area before getting into the core, but with a typical behind the shoulder hit they loose little meat compared to a tipped bullet when used correctly, I'm sure you can use something like a 168 in a 300 RUM and blast a hole in something but that's not using the Berger type bullet to it's advantage. I've shot elk back to back using a 140 Berger and a 140 Accubond simply to compare meat loss and lethality, and you literally have to hunt to find the Berger entrance holes, the Accubonds will be jello'ed, it's what first so impressed me with the Berger. I've seen more issues with Accubonds inside 100 yards on elk than in the mid range because they open way to big and don't shed weight and get small enough to get through an elk shoulder, taking guys out to kill elk on fields the biggest no no is bullets into the shoulder and I've seen many not penetrate that shoulder, I have not seen a Berger of the proper size or a Hammer stopped on an elk shoulder because they have the mass and they will shed that frontal diameter and continue penetrating. If you want to see an absolute mess shoot an Accubond Long Range, I haven't seen anything blow up and wreck meat like that bullet, they expand low though. The bull in post 56 has a small bruised spot behind the shoulder a little bigger than a quarter, that's all we lost and is typical of what we see with an open tip match bullet, that was close range too.
