Yeah, it is funny isn't it.


I've used a lot of X varieties on a lot of critters and only watched a small handful of Accubombs used. I have yet to see a pass-through with an Accu-bomb and that includes 300gr 375s shot broadside at bears.

I have personally put quite a few 270gr Xs lengthwise through big bears without catching a single one.

To this day the only X bullets that I have seen fail to fully penetrate were 80gr TTSX in the 25-06 in moose and a deer, lengthwise. I have seen the little things go through a LOT of bone and still get away...


I have killed 20 or so head of game with X bullets. With one exception, all were complete pass-throughs. I killed a mulie buck where the 165 grain bullet traveled about 30" of muscle the length of the neck and into the backstrap- breaking the spine. I found that bullet. It's the only one. Too bad I can't get them to shoot for beans anymore. I quit trying.
