[QUOTE="JPH, post: 234243, member: 12894"] I've been killing many deer recently with Lazzeroni Warbirds using 1 of 2 loads using Barnes TSX bullets: 130 gr TSX @ 4000 FPS and 150 gr TSX @ 3750 FPS. Both Barnes X bullets pass very neatly through deer, 1 bullet through the shoulder and out in front of the rear leg with little damage. In fact, I have heard many complaints from other hunters that these bullets do not open up enough, so little damage resulted. Once, while killing does for a sheep farmer due to crop damage, I killed a doe with a regular 180 gr soft point and it looked like she was killed with a hand grenade. My opinion after 8 hunting seasons and about 18 deer is that the speed of your bullet requires Barnes X bullets which will (and has) stood up to super high velocity. I'd be afraid of an Accubond at the speeds I shoot my rifles. [/QUOTE]
