I have become pretty confident in the Accubonds performance.
In my opinion, they are as accurate as any bullet.
Also, they have enough penetration without sacrificing expansion and damage.
I have been shooting 160gr AB's out of my 7mm WSM for quite a few years and have taken quite a few deer and a couple elk anywhere from 25 feet to 400+ yards. To be honest I have found a fair amount of the bullets. They are usually just inside of the far hide and have never exploded on impact as some claim even at close range out of my short mag. The damage has always been devastating and the animals haven't gone far at all.
I have recently started shooting a 200gr AB out of my new 325 WSM. I shot a caribou last month at 391 yards and found the bullet in the far hide. There was a lot of jello in between the hole and the slug. I shot my second caribou just behind the jaw and made some huge holes in and out.
I obviously would love to always have two blood trails, but will take a "B" grade in penetration, an "A" grade in accuracy and an "A" grade in damage any day out of a bullet.
For me the priority order is:
1) Accuracy
2) Damage (Expansion / Retention)
3) Penetration
