[QUOTE="Jumpalot, post: 443290, member: 4867"] Your right. Therein lies the problem. He didn't mean to hit it in the shoulder. He was "expecting" to hit it behind the shoulder. He missed his mark by about 3". Call it a bad shot. Whatever. That's why I switched to the Accubond. I don't have a problem with that anymore. Obviously you had a bad experience with the Accubond that caused you to not like them. To each their own. I won't shoot Barnes bullets because I've seen a buddy have to shoot a deer too many times before it went down. I tried Sciroccos once in my 300 WM. I loaded up some 165's and went after antelope. Shot a nice buck at 532 yds. three times through the chest. Two were a touch too far back (still in front of the diaphragm) and the other was tucked right behind the front leg. That got it to lay down but I still had to cut it's throat to kill it. Won't be shooting those again. The point here is that we all have different experiences with different bullets. We can argue until tomorrow about what works and what doesn't work. It boils down to what you trust. I trust Accubonds and until I see something different, I will continue to do so. The OP is doubting the performance of the Accubond and no one will convince him that they work without fail because of his own personal experiences. I keep saying, find something you trust and like and don't look back. It doesn't matter what product you post about on the internet. If you like it, someone else won't. If you don't like it, someone else will. Everyone feels that their own personal experience is more "right" then your personal experience. Who knows, I may go out tomorrow to shoot a cow elk and have a bad experience with the Accubond and I will change my opinion about them. But, it will be because of my experience with them and not because of what someone said on the internet. [/QUOTE]
