I wonder if you guys got a batch that never bonded properly or something Shooter? If by over-expanding you are saying that you guys had poor penetration or bullet failure? We've taken bull elk, cow elk, cow moose, calf moose, muley bucks, and whitetail bucks and does with 180 and 200 grain Accubonds and haven't recovered a single bullet yet. I took a BIG bodied bull elk at about 85 yds with a 200 grainer out of my .300 Ultra Mag running in the mid 3200 fps range and had a complete pass thru. I'm confident enough in the performance of the Accubonds that I'm going to drop down in weight and load 165's in my .300 WSM.
