[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 1734858, member: 11853"] From what I've seen over the years is the bullet that leave the biggest wound channel is going to be the quicker killer.I look for a bullet that will give me a complete pass through,but also shed a little weigh but retain enough to make it completely through.So it really depends on the bullet itself.For deer,in my 7mag,I really like the 150gr Ballistic Tip better than the 160gr Accubond.They both are great bullets,but the Ballistic Tip is giving me just a tad bigger wound channel than the Accubond.The bonded bullet retains weight better because it's bonded.I've also shot the 140gr Accubond but I like the 150 gr Ballistic Tip way better than that bullet and would go with the 160gr Accubond over the 140.Years ago I used to used the 160gr Grand Slam.It was a very stout bullet that killed,but deer would usually run a ways.I dropped down to 145gr and it gave me much quicker kills.So it really depends on the game your shooting and the bullet and speed your pushing it.If you ever find the magic bullet that works,stay with it and you will be happy.
