'06,

I performed a series of test on the 150 grain, .308, Interbond. I'll try yo recall the information, but maybe you can find it in the archives. Accuracy was very good and more than acceptable for hunting. In one twst I fired four rounds into a plastic box, chuck full of newapapers and filled with water. The bullets were fired from a .308W at a MV of 2775 fps. Range was 20 ft, 40 yards, 75 yards and about100 yards.

At 20", the bullet penetrated the deepest, about 15 5/8". The bullet expanded to .764" and retained the weight of 128.7 grns or 86% of its original weight.

At 40 yards the bullet penetrated 11 3/4", expanded to .714", retained the weight of 132.6 for 88% of its original weight.

At 75 yards, the bullet penetrated 14", expanded to .698", and retained a weight of 134.7 grs for 90%.

At 100 yards the bullet penetrated 13 1/8", expanded to .684" and retained 136.7 grs for 91% of its weight.

I switched bullet brands many times over the years looking for the "big 5".
Expansion to at least twice the starting diameter. Deep penetration. High weight retention, at least 2/3s a bullets starting weight. High ballistic coefficient. And outstanding accurarcy. The closest I've ever come to it was with the Nosler Partition, but only on a once in a while basis.
Now I think I may have found it.

Since running those test, Nosler has brought out their Accubond in a 150 grain weight. Now I'm testing the Accubonds. Accuracy seems to favor the Accubonds. Now I'd like to run the other test on a side by side basis and see what comes up. I hope that this is of some help.
