Impressed with the Accumax. My first hair test at 350 yards on a big bodied Illinois 8pt. My range finder was telling me 122 yards, but I knew it was wrong. It was picking up a rise in the cornfield so I ranged out beside the buck. At 350 yards I got a full pass through and the 250 pound buck dropped right there. Awesome bullet! Thanks again Kyle.

75 grains of IMR4198 and a LMRP. Pushes the Accumax around 2850. If you haven't tried the Accumax I highly recommend. I was shooting Match Hunters because the BE bullets were too destructive. In many cases, I was just punching wholes unless I hit bone with the MH. Kyles bullet hit no bone, but the exit hole clearly showed evidence of expansion. No meat loss!!!!! DRT..... What more can you ask for from a bullet!

I appreciate the kind words. The damage to the deer was enough to drop him on the spot, but no meat loss. Again, the bullets performance is a welcome change. I'm used to mass destruction and this was a pleasant surprise.
Bill I bet the .325 is a dandy bullet based on my experience with the .275. Love to see an Aeromax in the .275😜.

Nice job Clay.
I am also loving those 275 Accumax.
Found same thing you did, BE's too explosive, MHs, pencil through, I think the Accumax is juuuuust right!
I'd love to see a 250 Accumax, that baby would really fly!

I'd love to see a 250 Accumax, that baby would really fly! I'd love to see a 250 AccuMax as well!! Going to have my boy try 250 SST to if he can handle recoil and if he can will probably have work on a load with those for antelope season next year. I might work with the 250 BE's but not sure yet. Great looking deer congrats on the harvest!!
