Accubonds. Tougher than BT more accurate that most anything else.
But I cant stand BTs at game, after seeing the results time and time again. Thank goodness when i want a great big hole i just use a .458 or bigger.

I am still bummed out that Nosler quit making the 225 gn .358 BT's. I think they decided it was too much of a good thing.

A few years back I did some torture tests with several bullets from an 8X57. Long story short the BT's held together impressivley well and made MASSIVE mushrooms. Much larger than any other bullets I tested. I have been using 115 gn Bt's from a 257 AI @ almost 3000 fps with pretty good success on Muleys, (by the way, nice Muley JG! Thats a beauty!).. BUT.. I too have seen a lot of bloodshot meat. Too much really. If I can get them to shoot I am going back to 120 gn cup an cores for that rifle. I also think that the bigger caliber BT's have tougher jackets.

That Speedgoat is a mess! Makes me think twice about the 260 Rem SST loads I have.. bewildered I have very little doubt that SST's arent as tough as BT's.

I can ony speak to two BTs, the 165 in a 30-06 and 150s in a 7x57 and a 280. THe 165s work well past 50-60 yds. I'm not sure any bullet that will perform well at 300yds won't be devistating at under 50. I have noticed that there is very little difference on deer up to 300lds (red hind.) and pigs using the 150PTs and 150BTs at all ranges, up to 300yds. capt david


"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds. Get closer!
