    MZ5 used a 120gr Hot Cor on a Coues Deer last year with good results. I used a 140gr Custom Comp on my Mule deer up here this year, with good results.

    Personally I despise any tipped bullet, when used in a rifle that actually produces velocity. The whole notion of the tip is to extend the operational velocity lower, meaning POP!! at high velocity. I'm not big on wasting meat, I'm big on meat and gravy :)
    High BC bullets are very sexy, but really don't mean squat for normal hunting distances. Just pick yourself something that will group tightly, and kill away!!

    .....and post pictures.
    I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.

    Thank you darkker. I agree about tipped bullets but it sure would be nice to find one bullet for shooting grasshoppers and deer rather then split the ammo fund on target and hunting loads. That's really what makes the Accubond Long Range look appealing since it claims to only need 1300fps to open but will supposedly stay together at closer ranges and higher velocities too. (the Nosler sales pitch is here http://www.nosler.com/accubond-long-range-bullet/ ) I will look at the two you mentioned sir, thanks again.
