It's not velocity that's the enemy; in fact it can be a tremendous advantage. Poorly constructed bullets; now that's the enemy in my opinion. Using a rifle that you're not comfortable with or proficient with; that's another one.




Again, agree --on one of my first trips to Africa--I loaded up some accubonds in 180 gr in my HS 300 Ultra-mag--had them zipping close to 3400 fps--too much for that bullet and they performed very poorly..on lighter game the exits looked like someone used a grenade launcher.. and on the heavier game poor penetration levels..

Think the accubond is a good bullet for velocities in the 3000 fps or less--but think once you get in the 3200 or above--its too much for that construction type of bullet..

Swithed to A-frames and Barnes Triple shocks after that on my higher velocity calibers and have had no problems since with a large number of game harvested to substantiate it..
