I'd like to hear experience about how these two bullets perform. I know Berger is advertised on The Best of the West show as a superior long range bullet. On the show, it certainly does the job. I won't be shooting at the distances featured on that show, but I could shoot as far as 500 yards... or as close as 25 yards, who knows. I read one review that said Bergers did well on very long distance shots, but may not perform as well on shorter shots. I've also read a few reviews that said Accubonds broke up on large game like elk, though the elk did die.

Any thoughts on which of these two bullets perform better?

Thanks!
