[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 338139, member: 10178"] I really doubt that the lead core stripped out of the jacket on an accubond. It sounds to me like the accubond did exactly what is was designed to do, expand and hold together not blow up just leaving the jacket like the Ballsitic Tips. I shot 4 deer from 98 to 275 yards with my 264 Win mag and 130 accubonds this year. Two were through a shoulder and exit behind the off side shoulder. When I skinned them out I found the shoulders destroyed the vitals soup and the exit in the meat was the size of a golf ball but the exit hole in the hide was about the size of your thumb. The hide stretches. One was through both shoulders and both shoulders were destroyed and everything inbetween. Exit in the shoulder was about the size of a golf ball. I did recover the bullet from the forth deer that was shot at 111 yards. Now this bullet left the muzzle at 3350 fps. The buck was faceing me with a slight left shoulder angle. The bullet entered the edge of the left shoulder destroying the shoulder made soup of the vitals and when I was cutting up the meat I found the bullet in the right ham. The bullet was a text book mushroom with the lead core very bonded to the jacket and the recovered weight was 71 grs. [/QUOTE]
