Accubond. They've been a more accurate bullet for me. Not saying I haven't been able to get Barnes to fly straight but the Accubonds have been consistently more accurate in a dozen + cartridges.

I like them both. I shoot Barnes in 6mm and 7mm and Noslers in 277 and 308

I started using Accubonds and they have worked flawlessly. I’ve seen no reason to try anything else.
83% of all statistics are made up.

Big fan of the Accubonds and the ABLR. I like the performance of the Barnes bullets in .223Rem and in rounds that I push hard and fast like the 257 & 270 Roy.

Can’t go wrong either way. That’s my opinion. I prefer Barnes LRX over ttsx for most applications

Always had good performance with Accubonds in multiple calibers.

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. I've got some 130 ttsx loaded in 30-06. I don't have a chrono, but if be interested in how fast the are moving. I killed a ~120lb doe last year @ 40-45 yards and the exit was the same size as the entrance, about .308". She didn't take a step, only moved about 5 ft sideways and down. I wonder if the -06 is pushing them fast enough to break the pedals off?

I wonder if the -06 is pushing them fast enough to break the pedals off? I've recovered 4 or 5 ttsx and tsx 150-168's from an 06 . 2 where a perfect mushroomed x but the rest had shed a peddle or 2. One was a 5 yard straight on shot . Normally find them bulging out just under the hide.

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.

I've been using IMR 4064 for the Accubonds and was gonna try it with the game kings since I already have it.
