What weights are you looking for?
I prefer classic.

I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

Bluefish: Back when I laid in my lifetime supply of 160 grain Nosler Partitions (.284) I had NO idea they would someday become "unobtanium"!
In the past I just cashed in on some person to person bargain sales (at gunshows etc) along with retail purchases - and at the relatively slow rate I use these up I should indeed have a lifetime supply of these wonderful projectiles.

I’ve pretty well quit using partitions. They are too proud of their bullets in my opinion. Try some TTSX’s. I’m sure you’ll be pleased.

I have yet to see an accubomb exit. I have yet to see a TSX or TTSX fail to find open air. YMMV, but an X will not.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

I’m a huge TSX, TTSX fan, but… I have recovered a lot of Barnes bullets and have seen a lot of accubonds exit. Not pictures, not neighbours, but stuff shot with my own rifle. Bigger sample sizes sure help dispel a lot of myths.

Thanks for that heads up. Just ordered a box from Scheels.
Now, if anyone knows a source for RL-25. I am down to half a pound. To me about the perfect 7RM powder with 160’s is RL-26. I know it’s also hard to find, but would broaden your search. DF

My experience with accubonds has also been excellent. I LOVE Partitions and have used them since the late 1960s, but the Accubonds seem to be as good.

My hunting bud hunts Africa on a regular basis, uses his 7RM with the 160 NAB over RL-26 to good effect. It would be hard to get him to try another load.
He's got a bunch of trophies from that combo, has made some 300 yd. shots, most less than that.
