[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 806120, member: 55580"] I believe he is asking because it is difficult for someone to praise a bullet without a lot of experience in actually killing big game. When you add in that this is a Long Range Hunting forum, people want to know what works at ranges well over 500+ yards. Don't get me wrong, I am an Accubond fan as well, but when people want to know what is going to drop an Elk at 800 yards and your longest kill was an 'accident' at 613 yards (with a different bullet than we are talking about), it doesn't provide the evidence people really need when choosing a bullet. As I said, I initially chose the Accubond for my rifle because I read a lot of good information about the bullet working consistently at longer ranges, while not having to worry about shrapneling at short ranges that supposedly came with Berger bullets. Well, the worries of the shrapneling at short ranges have been put to bed for the most part, thanks to Broz and others. The solid evidence that they have provided for those bullets working both long and short ranges has gotten me to the point that I might be switching up my load soon :) We'll see...I would like to see some evidence, good or bad, from the new Accubond LR to make an educated decision between the two. Anyway, I think what Jeff was trying to get to is evidence instead of opinion. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but evidence is the proof. [/QUOTE]
