[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1903703, member: 13632"] Some of the worst wrecks I've seen were with Accubonds not making it into the vitals on elk, the most common I've seen is the 180 from 300's especially up close if someone hits a shoulder but I've seen them shallow also and I think sometimes it's the tips coming out and exposing the huge hole and then they have a huge hydraulic expansion vs the mechanical they are made for. On others it's the fact they are just too tough and create a huge frontal area and there just isn't enough momentum to over come the frontal area so they stop or turn. I don't like shooting tipped bullets, they open to early and you need to mechanically open them vs the open tip match type which hydraulics open which is typically like a delay fuse. It's very common to see small exits with match type bullets because they open big in the middle and then just pop out with what little momentum they have left, when you look in the middle it's wreckage.
