Tipped ammo and bloodshot meat

[heiner39]

I am new to the rifle world and deer hunting in general. I am very curious to try some Hornady SST or Interbond or the Nosler Accubond for my 2008 deer round. I have read good reviews about the accuracy but I'm concerned with bloodshot meat. Does anyone have experience with these rounds and if so how was the wound and the meat (ie was there a lot of bloodshot meat)?

I am trying to find a round that my gun really likes and the prices on the bullets I mentioned aren't too bad so I'd like to give them a try. Seems like there are a lot of different types of tipped rounds out there these days and I have no experience with any of them.

Thanks for any input!!

I should add that I will be shooting them out of a 30-06 Savage 116FCSS. I just bought it last fall and love it!!!

I have been shooting Accubond's for two years now and have not noticed that they cause and more meat loss than other rounds. The Accubond is not like a varmit type ballastic tip, it has a thicker wall and holds together better for weight retention with good expansion. It does'nt fragment like a varmit bullet. I like the Barn's bullets , but they are more expensive and I have been impressed with the Accubond on both performance and accuracy. What caliber are you shooting? I will tell you that I try to use the neck shot or behind the shoulder heart shot with any bullet to avoid meat damage.
