I've only tagged a couple of whitetails with the Accubond but they fell exactly where they were shot. Minimal damage to meat, less that a 7mm or .270. I suspect the bullets may not be opening fully but still punching a nice hole right through.

Hopefully this year I draw an Elk tag to see what this does on larger targets.
are you sure you're on the right thread? must be some super velocity in that lapua, lee.
