AD,

Good to have you back and congratulations on a great safari. I guess I'll go ahead and stick my neck out here and be the first to say that I'm very surprised to hear about your Accubond experience. I've used the 225gr AB out of a 338 Win. Mag. on a few elk and a caribou over the last few years and have been mightily impressed with its performance. I also used a 140gr. Accubond on a Dall Sheep from a 270 Win. that performed flawlessly, although I think its a given that Dall sheep are thin skinned animals that are fairly easy to kill with most bullets. Nonetheless, I appreciate your report and experience since I have been planning on using my 338 as my light rifle in Africa next year and had been comptemplating using the 225gr AB's. However, I have already ordered some Northforks for it since I had some lingering doubts in the back of my mind on the AB's performance on African game and your report just tipped the scales for me.
Best regards,
Test
