[QUOTE="cross, post: 344165, member: 8592"] OK I'll have a go at this, some will agree and some won't but that's what we all seem to get. Nosler Accubond: Great bullets, accurate with good penetration and weight retention. I've read of some failures but have experienced none. Sierra Game King: Some folks say they shoot well, they've never worked well for me. Watched my buddy wound a mule deer to death with Sierra Game King 180s. Upon butchering, the bullets were penetrating about 1.5 to 2 inches before absolute disintegration. One bullet just forward of the shoulder didn't stay together well enough to make it to the chest cavity. Another in the back strap barely penetrated far enough to break it's back. Yes the animal died (for all of those who think if you brought the animal home bullet performance couldn't have been bad) but he lived 2 shots and 10 minutes longer than he would have had he been shot with a Nosler partition or Accubond. Never tried the 200's. Speer Spitzers: These are pretty accurate, standard cup-and-core rifle fodder which can perform but don't always. I've seen my buddy break the front shoulder of a bull elk with 145s from his 280 Rem. and also seen where my Dad put a 250 grain Speer Sptzr. from his 35 Whelen Imp. into the neck of a whitetail at 30 yards and the bullet barely held together well enough to reach the spine.
