[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 2044514, member: 112413"] I'm going to suggest the 130/140gr accubond myself, shoot them at CM velocities in a 260. Have yet to see a deer make more than a jump or two........most are DRT. Used 140gr partitions before the AB and they worked fine as well but the lead noses can deform in the magazine from loading /unloading and from recoil as well. I like the price a little better on the AB's also :) For my uses where a long shot would be 150-200yd's and most of the shots happen at 15-100yd's in thick woods, you would look long and hard to find a more reliable bullet. They break shoulder bones but also expand nicely thru the ribcage, never a problem with head-on or hard angle quartering shots either. I was trying to remember when a deer ran out of my sight after a hit, it was 1997 and I was using the factory remington core loc's. Shot a large buck head-on and he ran quite a ways, bullet went to pieces (no exit or blood trail) and I looked for about a 1/2 hour to find him. Should be called core loss, started reloading right after that and have stuck with nosler partitions and then accubonds. It's not that I shoot better or different but the bullets anchor them quickly and always exit. Started my son with partitions and now AB in his 308, like the hammer of thor, he don't know what its like to have a deer run. [/QUOTE]
