A friend of mine has a 1-8 Tikka 22-250. He killed a very nice whitetail buck in the fall with a 70 grain Accubond from it, and has used that combo on several hogs too. He's an experienced hunter. He says they dig deep and he likes them a lot.

I have the same rifle and shot a few rounds of his Accubond handloads (over Reloader 15) with it. The few I shot showed potential for accuracy though I'd want to play with the seating depth some.
