[QUOTE="tonechaser88, post: 2240694, member: 119065"] Going off of memory here but I believe apples to apples would be Hornady SST compared to the AccuBond. Both tipped, bonded bullets if i'm not mistaken. I shot 123gr SST's that shot fantastic out of 6.5mm, and with that said, they have a nice BC for that class bullet, Better than the Accubond in 130gr by a little. I shot accubonds for years almost exclusively and they are good bullets. It was nice to be able to shoot 140gr Nosler BTs and 140 gr Accubonds that are essentially the same bullet with the exception of being bonded. The BTs were much cheaper to shoot and the accubonds were supposed to perform well. I had a bad experience with an Accubond and a Barbary sheep and I just never have gone back. I'm not going to blame the bullet for failing and they were always plenty accurate, I've just decided that the Mono bullets have come a long way and its worth the extra cost for the insurance. I still shoot the ELDX stuff with great luck, they are probably more forgiving that just about any bullet of that cost in my experience. They did a great job designing the ELD line and I think its slowly chipped away at the SST and interbond options that Hornady offers. [/QUOTE]
