Thinking of switching to these for my 300wsm built on a LA. Right now I'm shooting 210gr LRABs but haven't seen them on the shelves in a long time so I was thinking of either switching to 200gr ABs or the TMK

thoughts?

Arent those 2 bullets polar opposites of each other? Accubond is a bonded bullet versus tmk is an explosively fragmenting bullet?

Someone correct me if Im wrong, but I imagine a tmk in any .30 mag there wont be much left of your critter without very carefully avoiding the meaty parts.

You're not wrong. The only reason I ask is cause I can get tmks for a good price lol but I was already leaning to ABs

My buddy killed an elk with a 175TMK at about 1900fps. I didn't see the damage to the elk, but the bullet went diagonal all the way through the chest and lodged under the opposite side skin. The bullet came apart and the jacket went the distance. The elk about went 150yds down a steep hill.
