[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 536287, member: 30671"] I use and prefer the Accubonds in my.338 RUM. I've used the 180's, 225, and 250's. I like them, but I'm not much of a meat hunter. Last years pronghorn with the 180 at 3500 fps was as much destruction with a single round as I've seen. Hit it in the ribs to avoid the shoulders, and still lost the rear portion of the shoulders. Walking up to it the gut was all puffed up, and I'm thinking how the hell did I gut shoot it. Didn't, but hit it hard enough to pop the stomach, and splatter the contents over the insides. Someone has all ready compared it to a prairie dog. Even not being a meat hunter, just cleaning up a mess like that isn't much fun. The 225 is a better choice, the 250 is probably kinder to the meat in the 400 yards. If that's important to you. [/QUOTE]
