Posted my answer to your question over on AR, with pics, so won't duplicate. My experiences with AB's have been just the opposite of Ripp's, as long as the speed is kept down. Just expand too quick on the ultra-hot loads. They shoot great and perform as designed, and most were pass-thrus on game with large exits. I just never have gotten acceptable accuracy from either A-Frames or Scirracos in any gun I tried, so gave up on them.

If you read my response --that is basically what I said--

"Have used them out of my .280 shooting 140's at around 3000 fps--worked fine on mule deer..and there in is, what I believe, is the nitch for Accubonds..if you use them go heavy for caliber and keep the velocity under 3000 fps--they will work "o.k."...BUT personally I would NEVER use them on Eland--there are so many better bullets out there for that..why risk it??""

Keep the velocity down and they work o.k...my additional response is, there are so many better options out there I would not risk shooting a 2000lb animals with what I consider an inferior bullet for this type of game..

As to the A-Frame or Scirroco's not being accurate..really?? see the photo below..this is the only one I have on my computer..but have targets at home better than this ..all with A-Frames or Scirroco's...
