Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Bonded bullets

:shakin' my head:

That was a given from the get go...

Continue to savor the dust from the panes...

Da Ranger: Prwlr gives good advise....

Not to preach, but there is a lot of "experience" on here....

..I know guys who think the AB is the "Second Coming",yet I have emails in my file from African pro's saying very firmly...."Don't send anymore"....I know other very experienced hunters who like them,and some who won't give you two cents for them.

Not to single out AB's of course,but they are the one's mentioned.There are even experienced people on here who won't go around the corner for a Barnes or a Partition and cite good reason based on their experiences....is this to be discounted? I think not....

Hang around here long enough and you'll conclude pretty quickly(if you have an open mind about it)that quite a few expanding bullets work well for lots of people.....

....and, while you may have your own favorite,about the time you have made up your mind it's the "best",or vastly superior to anything else, someone will come along to show the errors of your thoughts.....

For example,the AB is a good bullet.....assuming the tips don't snap off and stove up your action......just a sample of "one"....but worth noting.

So,whatever it is that you have done with an AB, I am willing to bet 10-1 that someone else can come on here and cite similar experience with a Barnes, a Partition, an Aframe, a Berger,a Hornady, etc. Best to keep an open mind and not discount the experiences of others.....Just my own thoughts on the matter.

Neither has any superior funcionality over the other ecept the SST which, is not a bonded bullet.. Take your pick amongst the others..

My preference is the Accubond.

That's an acceptable response.


This is not.

It is acceptable for others to have a differing opinion than yours. And, you are entitled to your own. I don't see any game animals being wasted. If the man were wasting game animals I doubt seriously he would be posting incriminating pictures of it.

Since you are "just wasting game animals"....you should sell me that bag of 308 150 AB's.

Good grief man take a look at the picture... Just a thought, but if I was planning on wasting animals the size of elk, I sure a hell wouldn't bother to gut and load'em up.

Or would I bother to quarter them and prepare them for processing...

Just sayin'...

Reloder28... I have a Model 7 308 Win that just loves the 150 AB's or I would give them to you...

Interbond. I have had great accuracy success with the 6.5 129 Interbond in my .264WM at just over a chrono'd 3,100+ fps (the exact figure escapes me). It however is too tough for me as I like my projectiles to expand/explode and remain inside.

A few BS/estimated velocitys posted earlier.

Accubond

DaRanger, you've been owned....
