[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 376371, member: 4809"] Welcome to the search for the Holy Grail: a high BC bullet that opens perfectly at 1000 yds. just as it does at 100 yds. I'm still looking. Until science comes up with the ultimate "do all" bullet, we have to deal with compromises. High BC bullets get us the LR accuracy and wind-bucking abilities that we all desire, but do not always perform as advertised. There are bullets with a better design that are absolutely devastating on game, but don't have the higher BC we crave. A case in point is the Barnes Triple Shock. IMO, it is one of the most reliable and lethal bullets out there, along with the Swift A-frame. Don't believe me? Talk with several of your Professional Hunters from Africa at your next hunting expo. It is all that most of them recommend. Having said that, they do not have high BC's and I sometimes have trouble getting good accuracy with the TSX. Berger and SMK's typically give us great accuracy and high BC's, but they don't always perform reliably - especially in smaller calibers at greater distances. We can all find someone who has had a bad experience with just about every bullet out there at one time or another. In the end, it usually comes down to compromise and the Accubond is near or at the top of my list. [/QUOTE]
