[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 826510, member: 10178"] Don't worry about the 110 Nosler Accubond and it coming apart at high velocity. The only Accubonds I have shot so far on deer has been from my 264 Win. mag. It is the 130 gr and average muzzle velocity is 3350 fps. I have shot white tail deer as close as 80 yards with it and it exits. Out of about 10 deer shot with this combo I have recovered only one. It was shot length wise from edge of left shoulder smashing the scapula and was found in the right ham after smashing the ball socket. It was a text book mushroom and weight was 87 grs. My hunting buddy had a 257 Weatherby and used a case full of H870 and the 117gr Sierra Game King and killed hundreds of white tail deer when we control hunted a big farm in NC for 20 years. Everyone that he shot when I was with him never took more than a few jumps if any at all. Most dropped in their tracks. Yes at close range, under 200 yards, the bullet really comes apart but you could still find the jacket most of the time under the hide on the off side after going through both shoulders. Dead is still dead. I shoot the 117 Sierra Pro Hunter in my 25-06 at 3000 fps because it does not like boat tail bullets but it shoots bug holes with flat base bullets. For long range the heaver bullets 110-120 will retain more velocity than the 100 gr and will actually shoot flatter. Deer and speed goats are not armor plated so you don't need a really heavy constructed bullet. [/QUOTE]
