the promised AccuBond exit pic

this is typical of accubonds from what I've saw, I've shot the 110 .257's and the 160 .284's at MV's of 3140 and 3575 fps respectively

I used my 270WSM with 140 AB's (Winchester Factory Load) and it did an admirable job on an elk and mule deer. The elk was shot twice. One botched shot at the neck and another behind the shoulder. The shot behind the shoulder anchored him. They were both under 40 yards. The Mule deer was shot at 250 yards. I was above him and he was quartering very hard away from me. I shot through his back to the left of his spine and the bullet exited under the neck. I thought I had missed the deer as it ran straight back down hill, looking apparently untouched. Well, once we got down there, I found a drop of blood and some hair. Followed that down the hill for 30 yards. Well the deer had smacked straight into a tree and dropped. It was kind of cool because there was a fountain of blood (3/4 inch in diameter) flowing out of the deer hike a garden hose was on.

Overall, I was very impressed with the AccuBond. I like bigger for elk, but the 270 is really all you need if you shoot it well. A bad shot won't make any bullet work. Scotty
