[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1955487, member: 13632"] I have shot a good number of elk and mule deer with the 140 Accubonds starting at 3350 fps. I've recovered a half dozen bullets. I've recovered 2000ish fps impacts from soft dirt after broadside lungs shots on deer that were barely open. I've had impact in the 200 yard range on elk broadside hight shoulder literally blood shot from neck to tail bone and recovered a small ball of the base of the bullet. I've seen a couple 180's and one 200 gr not make it to vitals in close hit on elk through the shoulder and not open in the 850 yard range from 300 Wins and WBY. Not a bad bullet but not as versatility as they get credit for IMO. I've picked quite a few of them out if animals I've been cutting that were exiting backwards and the mushroom catches on the hide, I thing they need a higher twist rate to try to keep them stable in the animal and open better.
