[QUOTE="Remi, post: 5546350, member: 21887"] Barnes is solid copper and designed for 100% weight retention, so 127grs and it’s designed to hold 127grs after impact and expansion. The Accubond is a bonded lead core bullet designed to retain 60-70% of its weight after impact and expansion. If it keeps 70% that’s 98grs. For the speeds the 26 makes the Barnes would be my pick. Nothing wrong with Accubonds, they will be tougher than the Long Range Accubond. Speed is the reason you’re having bullet issues with lead core bullets. I’d bet if you were shooting one of the smaller 6.5mm cartridges you’d get exits with just about anything. [/QUOTE]
