RE: Nosler Partitions or Accubonds?
I have some pictures to post on this subject later. There are lots of good bullets, IMHO........most of what you read about them are "HYPE". By the bullet manufacturers and those that make a single observation and then profess it to be so in all cases. I have been shooting Accubonds and Partitions and Swift A-frames that my buddy has been reloading, trying to find the best load for my .338RUM. We have shot about 100 rounds over the last month, and in so doing have also shot some pieces of steel plate and steel bar stock. Don't know what these would have done to a moose or elks shoulder that according to some are bullet proof. But I do know that each of them shot through the 1/2 inch steel plate at 100 yards. None of them shot through the 1 1/8 inch bar stock, but the Accubond penetrated just as far if not further than the other two. Though not going completely through, the Accubonds penetrated enough to bulge the back of the stock out.
Don't always believe what I hear or read........but I believe what I see in this case. Accubonds performed just as well in my mind. Now if we could just get the perfect load right!!! Guess we just get to keep shooting!!!!
Good luck with your choice and no matter which one you choose.........Practice and make the shot count!!!!
