Mine shoots B-tips into tiny clusters at about 2950 IIRC. I like the B-tip but Im worried that its not tough enough for an all a rounder.
When did they beef up the jackets? Did they just beef the jackets on the 168 or 165's too?
For killing deer, black bear, and caribou, a 165 or 168 grain BT our of a 30-06 is plenty. Plus an Accubond of the same weight should strike close to if not right on the same POI so you could mix and match them based on your worries. Shoot targets and deer with the BT and everything else with the Accubond if you so desire.
If you look at a pic of a cross sectioned BT you can see that the rear jacket is thick and it has a solid gilding metal base. I think they are excellent. The Accubond is just a bonded version of the same thing, maybe better for shooting something like Elk or Moose.
