Accubonds in STW

Has anyone tried any of the 7mm 140gr accubonds? I was curious about how they shot, game performance, and fouling. I currently shoot X bullets, but the fouling is bad. I was thinking about trying the accubonds or maybe the triple shocks? Any shooters tried the accubonds at high velocities? My stw likes the 120 x's but the copper fouling is getting intolerable even with wipe-out. I mostly shoot southern whitetails and the 120 is about all I need, but I would like to try the 140 class of bullets to see how they shoot out of my rifle. I have tried 140 partitions with not so good resullts, groups were pretty bad regardless of load and seating depth.

My STW would not shoot any 140g under 1.5", it shot the 160g Accubonds with 3 different powders close to 1/2"

I just broke in my STW Sako 75 with 160gr accubonds. Fouling was typcial with accubonds. Not great, but not horrible. Nothing like X or TBBC. I was shooting around 3100fps, not terribly fast. I find the TSX to actually foul less than partitions believe that or not. In my gun anyway. 160gr is the only I have tried but 3 out of 6 groups were less than .75MOA. And the other three were cleaning between shots instead of 3 shots, and got like 1.5MOA so my first shot seemed to always droop.
