[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2856684, member: 313"] I ran the 250 Accubond @ 3,000 fps in my 338RUM. The load was developed for moose hunting. I shot the 250 Accubond side-by-side against the 250 Berger. The Berger was only slightly more accurate at 400yds. I decided to hunt with the Accubond I shot a bull broadside at 315yds. He started to walk a few steps so I rushed off a second shot. The bull dropped in about 30-40yds behind a treeline. Both shots went through the lungs and they both exited. The second shot wasn't really necessary, but I didn't realize it at the time. I shot a large bull at 54yds. Bullet impact was on the point of his shoulder. The bull literally flipped over backwards and never even twitched. DRT The bullet penetrated both shoulders and was caught in the off-side hide. Remaining weight was 145gr. IMO that's pretty darn good considering how much heavy bone that bullet plowed through. I can't imagine any bullet providing better performance. [/QUOTE]
