Accubond handloads

I've been shooting Winchester Supreme loaded E-Tips for the last 5 years or so. 150 grains out of my 7mm Rem Mag.

I had a scare this year that I thought was a poor bullet performance on an elk but instead it turned out that my memory was faulty and the bullet in fact performed perfectly. (I had the entry and exit side mixed up)

I've recovered 4 of the bullets (2 out of elk and 2 out of mule deer) and the only one that didn't perform perfect with 99% weight retention was an elk shot at about 50 yards where the petals peeled off the bullet due to the high velocity. The elk still died though.

200 gr Accubonds out of my 300 win mag and 140 tsx out of the 270

Depending on the Caliber, there are a lot of bullets that will do a good job.
The Accubond is probably my number 1 choice, but I couldn't get any this year, and used Winchester 180 grain silver tips in my 300 Win Mag. and they did a great job.
