Does anyone have any experience with these? I wonder how they compare to the Nosler Partition as they're both penetrators. Perhaps the TLR is better for longer ranges due to the boat tail.

I don't have any experience with them but they have already been succeeded by the new "Terminal Ascent". Yes they are better for long range. Here is how it compares to the Nosler Partition:

I was thinking the TLR might perform similarly to the NP b/c they are both "bonded" and the solid copper or antimony base of the TLR is probably similar in performance to the construction of the partition - in that the base retains close to it's full weight after expansion. Obviously, the boat tail of the TLR would help to increase range. I'm not sure what benefit is gained from the polymer tip - initiating expansion, meebe?

I have not heard of the Terminal Ascent. I will take a look.

Thanks.

What I like about the NP is that it's been around for a long time and there's no indication that it will ever be superseded. Not to mention it performs like Thor's hammer.

When did Nosler start bonding the partition?

Never

However, Nosler created the Accubond to perform as a bonded Partition.

Not a mono but grooved and boatailed similar to a barnes ttsx.
Should be a accurate hard hitting bullet.

Looks like Ttsx had a baby with Partition. And I like what I am seeing.
I have used TTSX for years with great success and have loads made up.
IF, I were looking for a new bullet, that be it.


All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Looks skivved around the ballistic tip to start expansion.

It's pointier and more uniform and won't get chewed up like a lead tip, they also made the tip hollow which they claim delivers better expansion.

I guess I confused the Accubond and the NP, though, I've only used the NP. Thanks for the clarification.
