Hello all,
My only issue with the "which is the best bullet" discussions is that the same bullet can perform very differently depending on many factors. I've had complete pass throughs with the same bullet that I've had explode inside of a deer the next time. Seems there is no ryhme or reason to it.
The one bullet that has performed very consistently for me is the Nosler Accubond. For deer I feel that the Accubond is a bad bullet. My experience is there is very little expansion. I confirmed this when I shot a very large elk with one and then entry and exit holes were nearly the same size. Even though it hit rib on both sides.
With all that said, I've never failed to find a deer shot with a bullet in the vitals. Some of them go a ways but they all end up on the ground.
I hate to say this but I agree with swampy, for more than just the average hunter, the core-lok is likely all that anyone needs. Accuracy for me has been fair to good too.
Tom
