Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game The BEST damn Accubond vs. Barnes TSX thread?

Rost495,

I'm pretty sure the Accubond will penetrate an elk as far as it needs penetratin' from my .338. Hopefully. I'll be interested to read JB's article. If they were seeing bullet failure on elk-sized critters from calibers similar to my .338, then I'll rethink things!

I wish I still had the photo of the one accubond kill I've made. Well, I do have this:



That's the buck. 180-gn from a 30-06. I had another picture of the exit wound WAY back on the deer's right flank that made it obvious that the bullet had penetrated a lot of deer, then exited "with prejudice" as they say. That pic was on my cell phone when I ran it through the wash.

So I'm having a hard time imagining that a 225-gn AB is going to be in any way inadequate from a .338 Win Mag.

I'm super-curious to read JB's article now! If they had problems with 'em, I'll probably do a last-minute reloading fiesta and switch over to the TSX, if they will shoot that is.
