Not all HPBT bullets are match bullets. Berger, Sierra, & Barnes makes some of the best hunting bullets money can buy, so does Cutting Edge Bullets, and they all use hollow point boattail designs.
The Accubond is NOT the same thing as ballistic tip. Because it has a bonded core and jacket that makes it a whole different type of bullet...
I have had 139gr SST's blow up on whitetails with my 7mm Rem Mag, and they were factory loaded Hornady ammo. You can't tell me they aren't thin-jacketed. They are not specified as a "varmint" bullet, but they are very fragile just like the A-Max bullets are. Some folks go through life using them and never having an issue. Majority of user, like me and several others on here, have used them and had them blow up. You couldn't pay me to use A-Max bullets on game, since they ARE specified as target bullets.
Look, I'm not trying to be a ****er, but you're not gonna convince me otherwise. I've been there, done that, watchted them blow up, lost animals over it, and will never use them for deer hunting again. Coyotes and smaller game...Certainly, but I also have other calibers for them....Like my .257 Wby, and .25-06 Ackley Improved.
Using 139gr bullets out of a 7mm Mag was your first mistake. I know SSTs are thin jacketed but not as thin as Berger or A-MAX target bullets or varmint slugs for that matter. And I can understand your position on match bullets, everyone has their opinions, I don't like the use of SMKs on animals but Berger target bullets and A-MAXs get the job done as proven by the members here. I don't want to cause any arguments so lets just leave it at that.
