I'm a fan of accubonds.
.270 130 gr accubond.
.308 150 gr accubond.
6.5 CM I currently shoot 143 eldx, but i have 140 gr accubonds that I plan on working up a load with.
.357 mag in a rifle, 158gr xtp/fp
45/70 300 gr xtp
If they made accubonds in .45 or .357, I'd probably be loading them.

Think it was a 140gr berger Nosler ballistic tip. FIFY Mine is a 16.25" TC Encore in 7-08AI with 140 ballistic tip. My first experience with them and I'm impressed thus far....if you want an exit these are not for you. But it's like someone opened their chest and threw a grenade in there. I've not had any hit in the chest tucked up close to the shoulder take a step. I hit one about 3-4" back from there and he broke my perfect streak of no steps. He went about 40 yards. Lately I've been carrying my 308 with 155 Scenars, I want to see how the do on game. A lot of positive things have been said but I want to see for myself.

Favorite standard cartridge- 308 Win with either 168 A-max, 125 grain Ballistic Tip, or 150/155 grain.
Favorite overall- 300 Win Mag pushing 225 Hornady BTHP at 2800 fps, but my 7mm/300 Win Mag with 195 grain Berger is my latest lust

That little package is badass and my deer took no steps when I pulled the trigger. It was a beautiful moment to be honest

I am pretty easy.
Whatever the rifle I carry to the stand that day happens to be chambered in.
Whatever bullet/load happens to shoot best in that rifle I am carrying.
