300 WSM BAR

We’ve literally shot hundreds of Mule deer with Ballistic tips since they were introduced. They just plain work. When I hunt Montana, where I might have a deer and an elk tag in my pocket I switch to Accubonds. With the exception of the 375 and Cape buffalo I run accubonds in any rifle I’m using in Africa. From the quarter horse size eland to the Labrador size Mountain Reed buck, from about 150 to 450 yards the 180gr AccuBond generated quite a pile of one shot/drt results. If I’m just hunting deer. Ballistic tips. If I might shoot a bear or an elk I’ll switch up to Accubonds. This is true if I’m hunting with a 257 Roberts, a 338 Jarrett or something inbetween. I don’t particularly care of the AccuBond long Range.

As an all around African plains game and North American antelope, deer, elk, black bear, and moose cartridge the AccuBond is a great bullet.

I’d aim for the shoulder using that bullet and plan on wasting a little meat or I’d switch to the Ballistic Tip and aim for the crease behind the shoulder.

Just my $0.02.

I vote for the Accubonds. I've used the 100, 125, 150 and 165 in 6.8, 308, 30-06 and 300 SAUM to good effect. Furthest and biggest animal I've shot with them was a cow elk right at 260 yds with the 165 running about 2960fps in the SAUM. No issues with that bullet on anything I've shot with them.
