[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2283629, member: 11853"] If your stuck on 160gr class bullets,another bullet you might want to look at is the new Nosler 160gr Ballistic Tip.They had some on Shooters Pro Shop and also directly from Nosler. [H4] What is the difference between the Ballistic Tip® and the AccuBond®? [/H4] Externally, they look the same except for the tip colors, Ballistic Tip® bullets are color-coded by caliber while all AccuBond® bullets have white tips. Internally the Ballistic Tip® is not bonded and is designed for controlled expansion on medium game with approximately 50-60% weight retention. Conversely, the lead alloy core of the AccuBond® is bonded to the jacket. This bonding increases weight retention (65-70%) and slows expansion resulting in deeper penetration and enhanced bone-breaking potential in larger animals. I've used both bullets.What I've experience is the Ballistic Tip gives me a little larger,but not a lot more, wound channel than the Accubond,resulting in quicker kills.I'm also getting 100% exits with both bullets.The 150gr Ballistic Tip is my favorite bullet for whitetails in my 7mag.Here is an example of it's performance.[ATTACH type="full"]297089[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]297090[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]297091[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
