[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1763621, member: 52437"] To date I have 23 deer with a rifle. Everyone of them has been shot under 400 yards, with 19 of them under 200. All (but this recent one) were with accubonds or monometals and NONE of them fragmented this bad. Most had caliber sized holes with 2inch or less exits. Calibers used were 3006, 7mm rem mag, 300wsm, and a 7mm08. The one time I had explosive results was with the 7mm rem mag and an accubond that hit the shoulder of a doe on a quartering towards me shot at about 50 yards away. The bullet did not exit but the insides were a complete mess. The bullet had fragmented really badly but the base remained intact and weighed about 50 grains and was found in her hind quarter. Had she not been quartering I would have definitely had an exit. I am not disagreeing that explosive results cant happen with monometals and bonded bullets at close ranges with fast velocities. They certainly can. Im just stating, they are definitely a better option than the EDLx for my purposes. [/QUOTE]
