[QUOTE="edge, post: 210340, member: 5030"] IMO, the Accubond is the best thing since sliced bread....at all but long long range, and then only since there may be better BC choices! First ballistic tips open very easily so you will get expansion at all but ridiculously low velocities; and secondly they hold together very well. I have a custom smokeless 45 caliber muzzleloader and I shoot 30 caliber 150 grain accubonds in excess of 3100 fps. I discharge my rifle after every hunt. Last year I shot at a tree and the Accubond went through it, but as luck would have it it centered a second tree about 5 yards further on and I had my portable sawzall with me. The first tree was 47 yards and about 6 inches across. Impact velocity was probably about 2950 to 3000 fps. I did nick the bullet cutting it out of the tree, but it weighed 107 grains or 71% of its weight, a bit over 1/2 inch across, and a near perfect bonded mushroom! The only thing I had for size comparison was an old can of obsolete powder.
