[QUOTE="ScottB338, post: 1835553, member: 113037"] I’ve shot a few deer with Nosler Ballistic Tips and Accubond bullets (308 and 165-168 grain, 270 and 130-140 grain and 338 with 180 and 225 grain weights). MST were taken with the 308. Raking shots with the Accubond worked out fine. The BT showed much more dramatic expansion in my experience. I wouldn’t take any shot much more angled than quartering with it. I also have a 300WM. It gets nothing lighter than 180 grain slugs. I would expect it to provide violent expansion with 165-168 grain slugs, unless you went to a mono (which I have very little experience with). I read somewhere that the 150’s were made for the 308 class, 165’s for the 06 class and 180+ for the mags. The only hiccup I have had with Accubonds was a frontal shot on a WT doe at 90 yards with 270 Winchester and a 130 gr. Center chest hit and portions of the bullet were fount throughout the left hindquarter. I was hoping to find an expanded bullet, but all I found was fragments. Not seeing this as a failure, just glad I kept it off the shoulder. [/QUOTE]
