I'd choose the Accubond. I shoot them in my 7 mag, 7mm-08 and my wife shoots them in her 243 and I've been really impressed so far. With that being said I am gonna be getting some 140 sierra gamekings here pretty soon to try in my 7mm-08 just to see how they do. Don’t need a bonded bullet for 7’08 speeds. I load 140 Sierras in 3 different 7’08s, all shoot great, all are wicked on whitetails. What powder are you loading for the game kings? I've been using IMR 4064 for the Accubonds and was gonna try it with the game kings since I already have it. Use IMR 4064 in one, Varget in the other two, phenomenal accuracy in all three. I've almost come to believe if you can't get Sierras to shoot, you have rifle issues.

Depends on critter, caliber, weight, and TTSX.....except for some specific uses/cases/ weights....Barnes is overkill for deer in anything over 243,...JMO. Cup and core is plenty. I’ve yet to catch an accubond in a deer, anyway. ....but a .308 130 TTSX at over 3k is great for threading needles through treetops, and the 30-30 150 TSX thinks it’s a 300 WM. This is your answer. Lite, fast calibers up to 2506 I’d go with the Barnes. They like to be pushed fast and perform best with high velocity. My kids have killed several deer with a 55gr TSX and damage was impressive. Huge entrance and exit wounds. Larger calibers I like the Accubond. It provides the best blend of expansion and penetration of any bullet I’ve used. I’ve killed 2 bucks with 150gr Partitions out of my 270 this year. I had a box of them from about 20 years ago and finally decided to load them. I’ll be swapping back to the accubonds.
