[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1955389, member: 10178"] The problem that people get into their mind when they see statements made by bullet makers that their bullet will expand down to X muzzle velocity is this mean ANY EXPANSION AT ALL. It does not mean what one envisions as a text book mushroom. In my experience the Accubond is a tough bullet. I am running the 130 gr out of my 264 Win mag from it's 27 3/4 inch barrel at 3350 fps. I have shot deer from 25 to just a touch over 500 yards and it exhibits the same results. Bullet goes in expands and takes out the vitals and then exits with about a thumb size hole. This is the way a BONDED bullet is supposed to work. I lost count how many deer I have shot with this combo but will say 20+ and I have only recovered one bullet with all others being exits. This bullet was placed on the front edge of the left scapula of a buck as it almost faced me with a left shoulder lead at 111 yards. It penetrated length wise of the body and was found against the smashed ball joint of the right ham when I was processing. It was a text book mushroom and weight was 87 grs. Every single deer I have shot with this combo has been DRT. First one was a touch over 500 yards in a green soybean field. It dropped in it's tracks and I like to have never found it. I had to walk the rows and literally tripped over it. It dropped straight down with it's legs folded under it and never moved. Now that is killing one dead on it's feet. LOL [/QUOTE]
