Good to hear that since the HAW average on the shelf $6-7 a box cheaper than the fusions usually run. Ive shot the HAW on paper and they grouped well.

Shot a doe with my 7 mag 130 grain haw 250 yard shot. At the shot she humped up and walked off slowly tail tucked. I reloaded and shot again as she made it into the wood line. We are talking about her being 15 yards from the edge of the woods on a gas line. No blood anywhere. Ive never missed a deer with a rifle in 20 years of hunting. Especially with a rock solid rest

Good to hear that since the HAW average on the shelf $6-7 a box cheaper than the fusions usually run. Ive shot the HAW on paper and they grouped well. I wouldn't recommend them. My deer went down with lung shots but the bullets fragmented so bad they would not have worked if I had needed penetration on a full length body shot. If you will only take a broadside shot on lungs and heart,they would likely work fine. I won't limit myself on that because you never know what will happen.

In my experience, 243 on 2 bucks and a doe, Hornady Whitetails suck. No pass throughs, and all three were tough tracking jobs due to no blood. Deer were between 50-100 yards shot broad side. I'll never use them again. They shoot tight little groups, but use them on coyotes, not deer.

I've been happy with the 140 grain Accubonds. I loaded about 50 rounds 3 years ago and still have some. I've gotten full passthroughs on two 170 pound bucks at about 100 yards. Both bucks went about 30 yards.
