[QUOTE="winmag, post: 405224, member: 22166"] This is one reason I love the 140gr Accubond so well in my 270wsm. It gives me the best of everything in my list of requirements. Relitively high (for a 270) B.C., tough bonded bullet, but with a catch, the ballistic tip helps initiate expansion at lower velocities as well(Longer Range). So I can take full advantage of tough bonded bullets in my situation thru the entire range I intend to shoot, and I can rely on them NOT TO BLOW UP on impact at close range. (like a tipped cup/core bullet) I dont know about the quarter bore. Im guessing an Accubond would work well in the range youve stated, and for the game also. The TTSX is supposed to be real good as well and expand better at lower velocity than the TSX due to the tip. Both however will hold up well and are considered ''tough bullets''. How fast your gonna push them makes a big difference too. If you get too fast and too tough a bullet at too close a range, youll likely wind up with the same problemb that has plagued the 7mm mag since it was invented. Small holes clear thru with virtually 0 damage inside. No body is gonna down play the effectiveness of the 7mm at longer range, but Ive had WAY too many bad experiences with them up close. So again choose your bullet according to the cal/cartrige-(speed) and intended use and range. I like a tipped bonded bullet for most of the things I hunt, and ranges and animals I shoot, and velocities attained. From my 338 wm -300wby -30-06 to my -270wsm. For my 30-30 and smaller/slower cartriges I shoot Lever Revolution and other more ''fragile'' bullets. Youll do well if you take in all the factors including, but not limmited to B.C. to choose a bullet.
