I just bought a box of them Accubonds in 130gr 6.5mm to try in my new 6.5-06AI because my dad has been using them in his 25-06 with great results. He's going about 3110fps with the 110's and getting 1/2in groups consistantly. He shot an antelope and whitetail last year with this combo both were ! shot drops and no recovered bullets both distances were between a 125 yards and 175 yards. I hope to get the results from the 130gr 6.5's.

I've been working up loads for my ex-son-in-law's .300 WSM. He wants the 165 gr. Ballistic Tips and Accubonds. Groups with the ballistic Tips have been running right at one inch and the Accubonds right at 7/8 inch. The rifle is a Winchester M70 Featherweight.
I haven't used any for my rifles yet, but after seeing the accuracy results in his gun, I'll be trying some out in a couple of my rifles.

Very accurate in my 300 Tikka. I shot a mule deer last year with an 180gr bullet. Was not able to recover the bullet , but it did the job. Large exit hole in the neck.

I've loaded them in a 7mm-08. So far, we haven't been able to recover a bullet from a deer. From looking at wound channels, I'm very impressed- the Accubond seems to shoot like a Ballistic Tip and penetrate more like a Partition.

In our family we load up the Accubonds in several calibers, .257 Roberts,
25-06, and 300 WSM. The AB's have performed very well in these calibers and are very accurate also. They have taken antelope, Mule and whitetail deer, bear and elk. I would certainly recommend them.

I have used them in my 270wsm and they are really great. They shoot the same as my ballistic tips , but hold together. I have loaded some for my 300 Win mag, but have not killed anything with them.

killed a few deer with 110 acubonds bonds and had very good results. one shot kills and very fast kills, didnt recover the bullets

ive also killed deer with 100gr and 115gr nos balistic tips with good results but find bullet fragments throughout the wound channel. the accubonds definatly hold together better. all kill very well with well placed shots.

the acubonds are just tougher
