[QUOTE="Ankeny, post: 86764, member: 4821"] I had quite the conversation with the head technician at Nosler about the Accubond bullet. First off, Nosler has had a few isolated problems with the plastic tips breaking off, or more correctly, just falling off flush with the jacket. The core is soldered onto the jacket. In some cases, if the flux is not completely washed out, the flux will attack the plastic tip and the tip will break away only to be found in the bottom of the box. I described the three impacts on my cow elk and the approximate yardages of the shots. I also told the technician that I understand anything is possible in the world of terminal ballistics. Long story short, it is the opinion of the Nosler technician that given the distances, type of animal, and velocity of the bullet, all three of the bullets should have passed right on through. I will be receiving a couple of boxes of bullets and a report of their media testing with bullets pulled at random from the same lot. On the surface, it appears the core and jacket did not bond. They are not taking this incident lightly and thier concern is evident. Obviously, this is a great company to do business with. I am getting way under MOA accuracy out to as far as I have validated the trajectory model (800 yards). I sure would hate to give up on the bullet. [/QUOTE]
