[QUOTE="Blacktail, post: 127036, member: 5973"] Got some good news and bad news regarding the accubond in the 140. Good news is a shot a 176 3/8 mulie through the boiler room made mush out of his lungs at 280 yds. Bad news is I shot a whitetail at 315 right behind the shoulder and the bullet blew up never entering the chest cavity. The buck ran by me and at 150 yds while running straight away tried a texas heart shot and hit the left rear end and he flopped. Unfortunately i had to shoot him again in the neck. When i examined the second shot in his rear was amazed to find the bullet never even made it to the bone and the bone was completely intact. I think i will reserve the accubonds for antelope and that is about it. thinking bout going back to good ol fashioned Nosler partitions or Swift A-Frames. I have also heard good things about the barnes TSX. The accubonds shoot great but what good is it if they dont hold up. It was pretty frustrating. Any suggestions [/QUOTE]
