I have't recovered accubonds yet .. not in pieces I can take pictures of.

The first deer I shot with them was with a 165 grain from a .308 and it was a head shot. No shock, right?

The next two were .257 110s from a .257 Roberts. I said didn't recover ... they didn't exit, they blew apart so badly there was nothing but little bitty pieces. 2 deer, 2 shots within about 2 minutes, both broadside. Both bullets fragmented somewhere in the heart / lung area. The inside of the rib cage on the "off" side (what would have been exit side) was poked full of many teeny holes. On the larger deer, I don't think any pieces quite reached the shoulder blade though many fragments went into the ribs / rib meat. On the smaller deer, the shoulder blade was hit hard enough to bloodshot/gell the whole shoulder but nothing went through the shoulder blade.

I wouldn't have any concern about using the .30 cal 165 again but I'm done hunting game animals with the 110 grain .25 caliber accubond. I'll save those for coyotes. I picked up 10 boxes of 120 grain partitions for my hunting use.
