[QUOTE="tm7554, post: 2895437, member: 39442"] My experience with the .308 200 accubond was not great for anything long range. Just for a data point was pushing a 300wsm hard with those pills at 2950. Shot a wyo elk at 634 yd. 2 of the 3 shots exited. The third I found trapped in the skin barely opened. I think the other 2 pills exited because they didn’t open. Drop chart suggested impact velocity around 1900 fps if I recall correctly. Looking back the shot was too far for my setup. I like the accubonds but this experience is what prompted me to start this thread. Adding this .308 stuff as I see reference to it and it’s a data point I wish I would have had. The elk died fast but I never autopsied the internal damage so I’m not 100% about my assessment (gutless method griz country). I do think I had the wrong bullets for the task at that time based on the one bullet I did recover. [/QUOTE]
