federal 140 grain, 270.  I was really surprised on this one

Well obviously the shot was too far for that bullet. The velocity wasn't high enough for it to expand. So exactly which bullet was it? I'd like to know so I know what not to use. Federal loads all kind of different bullets- Noslers, Barnes, and their own.

Congrats on the hunt, you guys did really good. I'm thinking about Montana for next year.

Ok thanks. I guess for long range shooting like that you'd be better off with Ballistic Tips. But I shot an antelope in Montana at just over 300 yards with a 150 grain Ballistic Tip and it didn't even make it to the opposite side of the body cavity, on a broadside, behind the shoulder shot.

Did you find the other bullet? How far did the deer go after you shot it?

Never had that problem before, the guy must have forgot a couple grains

I had to shoot again at 300 and 200,   the other two did good damage,   the deer bedded at one point.  the other two bullets shattered and did the job.  From the time i shot the two at 406yds.  the when it finally hit dirt the deer went barely over 100 yds.

     I have to agree, I've never had accubonds do that. Must've been a bad lot or a powder glitch of some sort.

It was an absolute blast to be there this year with you guys!  Hopefully we can do it again in the next couple years.  As Jason said, we went 6 for 7 as a group.  I was the one that couldn't put it together for some reason.  Had a couple opportunities and a few shots in some miserable weather.  Guess that's what I get for being the only one to get one in WA this year    From our camp to all the stories, this is a trip I will never forget.  Great friends and great times, besides the cougar scare    Getting to watch Bob shoot his buck, Jason skinning his, and meeting up with Jake after he got his, just awesome! I will post some pictures as well from the trip.  Thanks for posting J.

This was a great year for Montana.  A couple of good winters + good nutrition for 2 summers + all that evil weather blowing in during the rut = lots of good bucks.
Looks like you guys were there "when the big one blew in" too.  Anyone who hunted Montana this year in late November has a good "weather story".

I used that same load on my deer this year 400+ yrds. the bullet expanded and blew thru. must have been a light load in that one.
