Aside from the price is there any reason to consider another bullet for a “do it all” bullet for the 7mm-08?
Most of my hunting is done for white tails and I’ve been using 120 Ballistic Tips but was thinking the 140 grain partition might be a bit more versatile for other game as well as hold up a bit better than the Ballistic tips on close shots.
Was also considering the 140 Accubond but not sure if they will expand as well as the partition on shots that are 300 yards plus.
Probably overthinking this but would like to see what others with more experience with this round think.
Thanks
A 7mm-08 with 140 or 150 grain partitions is pretty hard to argue with. Same for 140 grain Accubonds. I would expect the accubond to expand farther downrange than the partition because the higher BC retains velocity better and the farther you are from the muzzle, the greater the difference gets. I would prefer the accubond over the partition past 300 yards .. closer I'd pick which ever is more accurate in my rifle. I have found the flat based bullets to be more accurate more often but no guarantees.
