I use the Accubonds in both of my main rifles. I run 140s in my 270WSM and 180s in my 300WinMag. Really accurate and even the 270WSM gives a complete pass through at longer ranges. I have only recovered a couple of the 270 Accubonds from the opposite shoulder. I did not weigh them but estimate around 75% mass remained. Complete pass throughs with the 300WinMag. But, I am tempted to go back to a plain jane soft point as I feel they kill more efficiently. So far, any animal hit with the Accubond, except for a close range head shot, has been a runner. The bullet did what it was supposed to and killed the animal but it did not anchor them in the same way a less glamorous soft point seemed to manage. Almost every animal I killed with a soft point anchored on the spot. Thinking about a Nosler Partition or Trophy Bonded Bear Claw or just going back to the Federal Powershocks.
