[QUOTE="winmag, post: 402083, member: 22166"] I would agree with alot of the posts here about shot placement being key to meat damage. However Im gonna lean the other way than most on fragile bullets. I absolutely hate em for my style of hunting. I hunt all ranges, not just one or the other. I hunt very steep country where shots have ranged from as little as 10 yards, to as far as I can see. I dont have a 15lb rifle made specificly for L/R, so I chose the 270wsm for an ''all range'' within reason, rifle. My personal ability also limmits my ability to shoot much past 600ish with absolute confidence. Ive destroyed critters with fragile bullets at too close of a range with what I thought was a good shot. Im a fan of tough bullets, but not so much for longer ranges. IMO, the 140 Accubond gives me the best of both worlds in this cartrige. Bonded and tough for close range, but a ballistic tip to initiate expansion when you get to reach out there a ways. Im not calling anyone elses opinion wrong. But Im a huge fan of this bullet in 270wsm for my style of ''any range'' hunting. Seems to me that it depends on what your hunting style is, and where you place your shot that dictates what bullet you should use to minimize meat damage. If I were able to reach out there a long way, and dedicate my hunt to L/R only, Id definately be a fan of fragile bullets. [/QUOTE]
