[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1409315, member: 101755"] I'm just more of the same story, but I've never had a failure. I started using them when they first came out. I used to use Sierra GK but hated the way the lead would get mangled if the tip was rough handled. So when I seen they had a plastic tip I was all in. I always considered a massive wound channel as a good thing. So when I moved to the Acubond I was disappointed by the lack of a wound channel. They are very tough compared to a normal BT. My wife hit her buck this year on the point of the shoulder at 307yds, big time bang flop...it hit bone as it broke the skin...264wm 130gr Acubond with a muzzle velocity of 3150fps. The exit hole was roughly 6.5mm. The inside was mush! I felt it was a narrow wound channel, but he hit the ground and only kicked a couple times...that was it. [ATTACH=full]91793[/ATTACH] Quartering to me at 403yds...7mmRUM 140gr. AB...I don't have the picture in my phone but have a similar wound from 7mmRM 130gr BT. [/QUOTE]
