Anyone try or use the Nosler Accubond 125 gr. bullet for deer hunting in the 30/06

I like one shot kills where possible and prefer to do all my hunting before I shoot.

I have used the 125 ballistic tips but kept the impact velocity under 3000 fps. Usual effect is BANG FLOP. The AB can be pushed faster because it does hold together. At least the 130 gr out of my 264 Win mag at 3350 fps muzzle does even as close as 30 yards through both shoulders of a deer. The only problem with the 125 gr out of a 30-06 would be in looooooog range work. It may start out really fast but that speed drops off when you stretch out the yardage and heaver/longer bullets work better. In most of my 30 cal stuff I use the 125 ballistic tip for deer because where I hunt with them I don't have shots much over 300 yards with most coming between 80 and 200 yards. It just plain works if you keep your impact under 3000 fps. For the long range stuff I haul out my 25-06 or 6.5x55 or 264 mag.
