6.5 CM 140 nosler accubonds. 4 deer no exit wound

I do prefer pass through a, but as long as the insides are soup the rest is just the fine print. Only shot one deer with my 6.5 CM, and it was a Muley buck with a 139 Scenar. Pass through and dead deer.

I definitely want a good blood trail. Even deer hit really well will on occasion run a fair distance. In the brushy areas we hunt in WI, a good blood trail can often make all of the difference. It's a huge consideration for me.

If all 4 were close? at close range the expansion diameter is larger and slows penetration, at longer range you most likely would get pass throughs. I have never used Accubonds as I use Partitions and heavy for caliber. I hear great things about the Accubonds though

Years ago I shot a big 4 pt Muley at 30 yards broadside right behind the shoulder with a 30-06 and 150 gr corloks. No exit and no blood, couldnt belive it. Tough track job in thick stuff. He went 80 yards but I never found blood until about 50 so I know what you mean
