Thread: Berger vs Accubonds

The A/Bs did work on Thar. I wouldn’t go back to them. I’m now using Bergers in another 7mm and swear by them.

I used the 140gn ones in my 270 for a while, everything I shot died but quite a few deer needed follow up shots due to pass thru’s, I reckon you need to go to a lighter weight (140gn for a 7Rem mag/130gn for 270) and drive them FAST and hit bone as they are a really hard projectile.

I’ve had good results from the 129gn LRAB in a 6.5
