[QUOTE="cbuck516, post: 2446415, member: 122236"] I took an elk last year with the 150gr ABLR in 270 Win and didn't really appreciate how much meat I lost. I ended up shooting my elk at 100 yards and that bullet must have splattered to some degree. I hit right in the shoulder crease but fragments must have went further back because there was stomach content all over that place in that elk. All of the rib meat was covered in it. I've never seen so much meat damage for a shoot right behind the front shoulder. I've shot the regular accubonds for over a decade in my 25-06 and I've never seen those damage meat like this. 270 Win 22" barrel H4831 56 gr. Fed 210 primers 2661fps [B]ES: 6 SD: 2[/B] They are designed for long range expansion and I never reached pressure in my load development so I can't imagine what they would have done if they had more velocity. I am now working on load development using solid copper bullets to prevent that up close lead bullet splatter. I'm a meat hunter so I'm not super into losing meat. [/QUOTE]
