I have never had an issue with Accubonds Partitions A frames and hornadies . I love the TSX's but pictures like that really concern me.
What concerns me is that you can't see how silly this "comparison" is.
What in the world is launching a 120grn TTSX @ 2750fps? That's what it would have to be at sea level to get that impact velocity, slower still w/ any altititude. Even my previous model 7 in 7mm-08 w/ a shorty barrel would push 120grn TTSX's out the barrel at 3000fps.
It's no secret that the TTSX's are usually at the limits of reliable expansion at 2k fps. If you're going to stage a test at least make it fair so that the bullet can perform as designed. If it had been launched at 3100+fps such that it's impact velocity was higher then it would have performed much better than this comparison indicates.
That's the very reason Barnes makes light for caliber bullets so that they can be driven fast and have reliable expansion.
And no, I'm not a rabid Barnes fan boy, didn't even shoot one last year, but it's clear that this "comparison" isn't fair.
