Have more than a few with a number of different bullets. Barnes X of about any model, 165 or 168 gr. I have never recovered one and the difference in meat loss is significant. Literally you can "eat right up to the hole" and not worry about lead particles in your food.

Noslers of every type kill just fine... but the mess they leave is ridiculous. I have used many 30 calibers including 308Norma, 300H&H, 300SAUM, 300WM with a number of different bullets. The difference is so stark the 30-06 is the only rifle I have moose hunted with for a decade or so.

I have seen a number of Accubonds used on lots of different critters and have never seen an exit. I insist on exits virtually every time.


Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
