[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1364296, member: 10178"] You killed the deer so the bullet did it's job. This was a BIG deer and you shot it at only 125 yards with a SMOKING round. Impact velocity was still VERY HIGH. You did not find the bullet so you can't say one way or the other what happened. From my experience with Accubonds and HIGH velocity. I shoot the 130 gr Accubond out of my 27 3/4" barrel 264 Win mag at average muzzle velocity of 3350 fps. I have shot over a dozen white tail deer in the 130 to 200 lb. range from north east NC from about 25 yards out to a touch over 500 yards. The bullet seems to react about the same. I usually shoot through the shoulders and the bullet goes in destroys the vitals and exits with about a nickel size hole in the hide and the deer drop in their tracks. I have only recovered one bullet. It was shot into a 200 ish lb buck at 111 yards that was facing me with just a slight left front shoulder angled at me. I placed the bullet on the edge of the shoulder. The buck fell back on his butt and then on his side dead as a hammer. When I cleaned him I found that the bullet had smashed the front shoulder then traveled length wise of the deer taking out the lungs and liver and guts and was found against the smashed ball socket of the right ham. The bullet was a text book mushroom and weight was 87 grs. This bullet still had to be doing over 3100 fps at impact. This is the only Accubond that I have ever not had exit. If your 180 Accubond is accurate in your rifle and it killed that huge deer I would keep using it. Just my 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
