Amazing to me how radically different bullets perform for different people. My son has shot quite a bit with the 80gr TTSX in a 25-06. Even a brown bear. Total penetration and mostly DRT.
I have only watched about 30-35 Accubonds used and have yet to see a pass-through, even on smallish stuff. Watched a Kodiak bear take four 270gr Accubonds in the ribs from a 375H&H... all were caught.
A lot more questions than answers...
Speaking of questions, when did they start making a 270 grain Accubond?
I'm guessing he meant the 260 gr .375" Accubond which has worked out nicely for me.
Thanks for the detailed write-up on the culling efforts! That had to be interesting, to say the least. The 115 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip has become my favorite .25-06 bullet. Mostly I use it for mule deer & pronghorn antelope, with the odd coyote thrown in now and again. Accurate and very lethal.
I'm a bit envious of all the shooting experience you got on that trip!
