[QUOTE="idcwby, post: 1757009, member: 90986"] The worse bullet issue I’ve seen, came from a 200gr Speer HotCor out of my 300RUM, mv of 3000ish, don’t remember exactly. Shot a muley buck at about 75 yards and he jumped and headed down hill, started tracking with decent blood and got another shot at him at about 200 on the move and he ducked off the ridge. I run down to where he was and run past him to have him standing in the brush at 25, at this point I stick one in the neck and he drops. When quartering him discovered the first shot was back of the ribs and broke a couple, but didn’t make it in far enough to do fatal damage. The second shot hit him in the top of the ham and only penetrated a couple of inches with a baseball size entry and the neck shot had a softball hole and broke the neck, but didn’t exit. After that I quit shooting those bullets, I would’ve never expect that from they kind of bullet. Had a 200gr Accubond come apart on an elk shoulder at 75 yards, but it still had enough to get to the vitals, this was with the RUM also with a MV of 3220. My dad had issues with the Long Range Accubond in his 300H&H so he quit using them and some Remington corelokts out of his ‘06 in the 90s. The only varmint style bullet I had issues with was the Lead-Free Ballistic Tip from Nosler. 6mm Remington pushing the 55grainer at 3950. Smacked a summer coyote at 250, it dropped like being hit with Thor’s hammer, as my buddy and I was hopping the fence to go get it, it jumped up and ran off. Got to the impact spot and all we could find was some hair. Something I’ve noticed, not sure if it’s even accurate, but it seems some bullets do better in calibers and slime don’t. This is just an observation from my experiences of hunting over the years. idcwby [/QUOTE]
