this thread reads like a Nosler commercial.....and for good reason....their partitions and accubonds have earned a sound reputation.
The 165 grain weight seems just made for the .308 Winchester but is also a great bullet for the .30-06.
I am preferring the accubond as it has a slightly better ballistic coefficient.
Traditional cup and core bullets have been killing elk for many years and still will.....but for the cash I lay out on an elk hunt, I'll pay a tad more for the insurance against a jacket separation and bonded bullets (as well as partitions) are worthy of this premium.
Shoot whatever you like but my gun will be holding either accubonds or partitions (this includes A-Frames) this fall.
