Any well driven bullet of reasonable construction is better than an exploding tip super penetrator that misses clean. They are moose, not pissed off hippopotamus'

I think they are all great bullets. In my opinion it comes down to personal preference and which shoots best out of the gun. I like high weight retaining deep penetrating bullets, which all of these are. I initially was having trouble getting good groups with the Barnes, but after switching powders I was able to close my groups up tight. I have killed deer elk bear and antelope with the Barnes TTSX and if it doesn't drop them in their tracks, they don't go far.

I shoot the 140 accubond from my 270win. Great performance on deer, and it passed threw my cow elk and dropped her in her tracks. Massive damage to the vitals.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

old school silvertips in 180gr. It dose the trick everytime, and is a sure bet to tell wich bullet killed the animal if theres a dispute.

I have been shooting Barnes TSX for about 11 years now, and love them.  I cannot speak to the others as I haven't used them.  The Barnes is easy to load in my experience, and the 185 grainer out of my .338-06 is an absolute killing machine that is pleasant to shoot.  Penetration is excellent with very little meat damage because there is no fragmentation.

Best of luck with your hunt.

out of all the bullets I have used i trust the accubond the most. Ive killed coyote, bear, deer, and elk with the 225gr 338win and now failed all pentrated very well and made the insides all nasty with little meat lose in the big game but still expanded and did its job on the coyotes :tup:

I run the Hornady 162gr SST through my Savage 7mm mag and get 2" groups at 200yds (factory loads)
