I think it is more of a case of using light for caliber bullets for larger game. Call me Elmer but a 180 or 200 grain projectile of almost any make I think would have worked out differently.

With Mono's light is fine but does not carry over to even bonded cup and core bullets. I would call the 165 Accubond a deer bullet or Deer/Elk bullet. I sort of look at the length of the bullet when comparing a Mono to a more conventional bullet.

A 165 mono is very roughly equivalent to a 180 jacket & core type bullet IMHO.

But congrats even if you ended up with a three legged Moose.
