[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 101371, member: 10"] Of the three bullet choices you list I would say the Accubond would be the very best choice. You want a quick expanding bullet for deer. The X bullets will start to open up after 4 to 6" of penetration. This will certainly work but the Accubond will begin opening on impact so you will take out more vitals in the chest. That said, the new TSX bullets do seem to open up quicker then the standard X bullet. Still, I would try the Accubond very first and then go from there. I used the 180 gr Ballistic Silvertip loaded to 3400 fps for years on deer. Took several head of very nice whitetail bucks at ranges from 50 yards to 510 yards. Never found a bullet in the animal and only had to take a second shot once. That was on a 325 lb full rut 6 year old buck that was chasing a doe. He was dead on his feet, well after he got up from being knocked off his feet from the first shot. He just had so much will to live that he was not going down, until the second 180 gr BST landed on his shoulder as well. The Accubond is a much better bullet then the BST. It generally shoots JUST as accurate, ballistically the same and retains much more weight for better penetration. That would be my first choice. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
