[QUOTE="Buano, post: 1736612, member: 21641"] YES! I had a 160 grain Accubond from my 7-mm Rem mag explode on a shoulder shot bull elk at 9-YARDS. The shoulder muscle was shredded but nothing made it to the chest cavity — or even past the leg bone. THANKFULLY I already put a lethal shot in his lungs. As I cut open the shoulder I saw the bullet came apart after less than 2" of penetration. The shoulder looked like a 10-gauge shotgun with #4 pellets was fired into it at point-blank range. My research at the time showed Accubonds are great up to a certain velocity, beyond which they can occasionally blow apart on impact. While they shoot well and are great in most situations, I'll never use them on a big game hunt again. [/QUOTE]
