[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1049839, member: 52437"] If money is not an issue get yourself some accubonds. I use the 160s in my whitetail 7mm rem mag gun. Have shot many deer from 25 yards to 400 yards. All pass throug with minimal meat damage. Exit wounds were about 1-2 inches in diameter depending if I hit bone. What I like about the accubond is the tip acts kind of like the ballistic tip but the base of the bullet will stay together like the partition. I have only recovered one bullet and that was on a buck who was facing directly at me. I shot him center chest. We dug the bullet out of the bucks rear pelvic bone. It was fully intact and mushroomed nice. Keep in mind this bullet traveled almost the entire length of the deer. Accubonds are expensive but are well worth it. If you are shooting beyond 600-700 yards, depending on your velocity, then maybe I'd look at something else. Nosler states the accubond needs 1800fps for proper expansion and there are many people who state this is true so enter your velocity in a calculator to determine maximum distance for proper expansion. With my current load I can go to about 650 yards. [/QUOTE]
