its amazing the technology that has gone into a simple piece of lead in the last oh 10 20 years. its hard to find a bullet that will be optimum in all scenarios out of all calibers. but they are working on it all the time. there are the bt, solids, soft solid, fail safe, hybrids, bonded, partition, soft point, just amazing. then you get into bc's and frontal area. pretty cool if you think about it.

It is . Its a nosler 180 grain accubond ballistic tip, they are white tipped. The Accubond was at 125 yards and the swift a frame was at 75 yards.

I use the BT's at the range to punch paper. I use the Accubonds to hunt with. The point of impact on both bullets for me are nearly identical. Both bullets are very accurate. I get good results from Hornady SST bullets. Barnes constructs a great bullet but I refuse to use them due to there high cost.

pretty impressive swift a frame bullet. I have some Rem 270's with 140 gr swift a frames loaded, these were for elk. I didn't get to see their performance though.

The a frame held 90% of its weight. The barnze was 90% also.

I guess it just a difference of opinion here. Yes the animals were killed, yes the animal's were harvested. but if a 180 gr. ballistic bullet, fired from a .300 wsm is not going through and through on a 160 pound deer at 82 yards, instead it is fragmenting and not staying together AT ALL, then in my opinion, it is not doing the job that it is designed to do and not doing what they are supposed to do.
