I can post several deer killed by my boy with a Sierra. Im not impressed with Accubombs based on experience. You won't change my mind.
Add to the list of [bleep] bullets.... TTSX, those extra long coated black pieces of schit Winchester had out around 94. Please feel free to add another Nosler product. The Ballistic Tip. I will admit that my experience was around mid 90's and JB has since informed me that they are different but they still land in my sucks and junk field.
Want the list of winners?

It sounds as if your buddy had a failure but I can't understand why the bullet blew up. I've never heard of it before. I've seen three deer die to 150 Accubonds and one bull. No bullet recovered and all 4 animals were DRT.
The deer were probably close to the size of a bull calf (200 pounds or so, nice mulies).

Want the list of winners? Not really. Like you said, I've got my favorites (based on experience) and you won't change my mind, either. P

Shoot enough elk and you will see the truth.... Ok, maybe not the truth but you will develop opinions on bullets. Use what works for you. Thats a nice bull though..

ok...
Speer Grand Slam. Never loaded these for accuracy. I always stuffed them on top of 72 gr of 4530 and filled the freezer. They work. Odd that they don't get mentioned more.
Sierra Game King. Lets be honest. If you can't make these fly, you suck as a reloader or your rifle sucks. They kill game dead. I hate the lead tip. Never caused a problem, just a personal issue.
Sierra HPBT- We all know my views towards these. I will admit some flaws when pushed fast at elk 30 yards away.
Nosler Ballistic Tip. Kills elk dead. Enjoy the billion chunks of copper in your meat. These have since changed. No experience since the change.
Nosler Accubombs- yeah.....
Nosler Partitions- Possibly the best damn elk killing bullet made. Not as accurate as Sierra.
Hornady- Never loaded or shot. Impressed by friends use.
TSX- Works very well but I have trouble making them fly.
TTSX- Lets just say HIV infected hookers ass. Ruined me on Barnes for life.
Remington CL- Yep, works.
Winchester coated long black things- Shoot yourself. Its easier.
Did I miss anything?

Schit....
I forgot Bergers.
On antelope and deer? Wow.
Elk? Never had one fall over from Bergers but I never chased one either.

That is the bullet I use in my .308s for a hunting load. I have killed numerous elk with it, including one 5x5 recently.
Not a single one needed a second shot.
Great bullet and very,very accurate.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Not as far as I'm concerned you didn't...  Sierra's are more accurate...but differences are pretty fractional.Anything you can hit with one, you will hit with the other.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

My Browning A-Bolt 30-06 with the Boss shoots the 165 Nosler Partition as good as any Sierra Bullet i have tried in it.
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

bsa, I missed something here??? Just seems like there was an insinuation there about the price of the partitions. I see it all the time here. It's always, "it's a small price to pay" yada yada yada. Same song and dance. For those that don't know about this place and I know there are a lot of guys still left out there that don't know about SPS because I still see partitions being sold in the classifieds for $35-40.00/box. You can buy firsts (factory over runs) for $20.00 (.308 180gr. partition) or these blemished bullets that I can't find a damn thing wrong with for $15.95/bag of 50: http://www.shootersproshop.com/nosl...0-180gr-partition-spitzer-blem-50ct.htmlI'd get them while they are hot!! I already have a stash of 500 firsts or I'd be all over these. Thanks god for SPS!!!

I have more bullets in my loading room than most of the Sporting Goods Stores around here have.

My Browning A-Bolt 30-06 with the Boss shoots the 165 Nosler Partition as good as any Sierra Bullet i have tried in it. Bea mostly, yes. With the 06 I noticed a tendency for the Sierra 165 to shoot slightly better than the 165 NPT but it showed up at the 500 yard line and over a few groups....even then, it was not enough to matter on any BG animal.

bsa, you are right about the Nosler seconds.. Several years ago, I spend some time in Ore.. Went to Bend several trips and picked up quite a few seconds... But so far haven't shot them at big game.. If I am doing something serious on big animals or trophy game that is stout, then for me the price even at Wyo. prices is worth it.. At present I probably have more Noslers, Sierra and Hornady bullets than I have time left to shoot 'em.. But my friends will enjoy them..
