Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Accubond or Partition

I've been using Partitions for as long as I can remember and always could get them to group very acceptably and they work fine on game. The last few years I've tried Accubonds in several rifles for deer and elk and I like them a lot. About the same results on game as the Partitions but they tend to have less meat damage than the Partitions always did- so far. More experimentation is needed for conclusive results but with the excellent BC and perfect mushrooms I have been getting with ABs I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with them for quite a while...
BTW, I use them in my 338s, 300 H&H AI, 26 Nosler, and 30-06 that my son shoots. I also load them for my brother's 30-06 and 300 Win Mag... no problem getting 1 MOA or better with either ...

260 grain .375 Accubond recovered from a black bear shot at about 15' with my 375 H&H. Muzzle velocity was about 2650 fps. I followed the bear into the brush after it had been wounded by another hunter.


165 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip recovered from a mule deer at about 140 yards. Handloaded 30-06 to about 2940 fps mv. Bullet traversed much of the buck, entering the chest as he was facing me, and recovered from the hide over the flank.


200 grain Nosler Partition recovered from a grizzly shot at less than 40 yards. Also with the 30-06, and loaded to about 2600 fps.


I'm pleased with the results of all these. Accuracy has been good and the results on game have been excellent.
