[QUOTE="Gixxer, post: 102474, member: 5731"] Besides the backstop not being a real good test medium, remember the Accubond has a thicker jacket than the SMK, not to mention the Accubond has the bonded core. Theres some food for thought. I dunno if the AB would pencil through @ extended ranges. the jacket is supposedly designed to open up @ slower velocities, and hold up @ higher V's. Check out the Nosler website and look @ the cross section, you can see the jacket get thicker from tip to base. I have not shot my 375cal AB's out to 900, but it is pretty darn accurate and bucks the wind out to 500. As far as the range difference in the first post, you would have to examine the law of averages on that one, 2 different carts, different MV's, bullet weights. Who knows what the terminal V was for each. But if you really think about it, the 240 @ 900 is more likely to be going slower than the 180 @ 300, so that would show the SMK as being more "fragile" if you think about it. [/QUOTE]
