| I hit it in the neck and he dropped like a rock and didn't move. I can't really comment too much on the Accubond's terminal performance since just about any bullet would have done just about the same considering where it hit him. I do like how accurate they are and how well they fly. The elevation on my TDS reticle was perfect and that played a big part in making the shot........DJ |

| Wstrnhntr, It's a Colorado bull, from the San Jaun Mountains near Ridgeway. It wasn't the biggest bull out there but OK for me. We're having him for dinner tonight!........DJ |

| You deserve a pat on the back. Good job. May I ask what powder and how much of it you use?
I have a custom Rem BDL 700 with a 28" Shilen barrel. I shoot the 200 Accub. over 89.0 Re25. Have not checked velocity now that temp is down. |

| DOC, I shoot a pretty mild load of 95grs of Retumbo but heres how it shoots at 200 and 300 yds: 200yds and at 300 I've shot the 200 Accubond in 3 different 300 RUM's and it's shot great in all of them, how well has it worked for you and what kind of velocities do you get from that 28" barrel?..........DJ |

| MY GOD, what do you do, lock your gun to a vice?!! I've never grouped that good at that distance. I just can't hold that steady even on a rest. My heartbeat moves me too much I guess.
I'll have to get back to you on the velocity with Re25, but based on trajectory out to 450 yards, it's certainly cookin'. |
