I use Accubonds in every rifle I own except the 3006, I use the 150 grain Ballistic Tip for that rifle, (it shoots them very well) I load the 140 and 160 grain Accubond for my 7mm rem mag, as well as 150 grain Ballistic Tips and Partitions.
My .270 win shoots the Accubond bullet extremely well, and it's my confident "Go To" rifle for most anything. I have noticed that with the three deer I've taken with the 130 grain Accubond is that penetration at a broadside deer, ( through the ribs) was always a pass through and the animal expired quickly.
I just finished a new loading for that rifle, with the Barnes TTSX and H4350, but I haven't taken anything but paper as of this writing, but it shoots this bullet extremely well.
I load 100 grn Sierra Gamekings for my daughters .243 Win, and this bullet penetrates well on deer size game, and it's extremely accurate.
CONFIDENCE!!!! I say again CONFIDENCE!!! is the most important factor for me in my hunting bullet, and these I have confidence in.
