RE: Nosler AccuBond
What's the point in considering the Accubond?
The partition is proven over & over again as top of the list for elk, moose, bear, deer or anything else in N. America that walks on 4 legs and weighs over a hundred pounds. IMHO gg.

2. Points don't get knocked around cause polermer
3. Who needs a reason?
4. Partitions never had the repuation for being extreamely accurate. Accurate enough however.

RE: Nosler AccuBond
If your gun doesn't like partitions why not try these ...they have similiar expansion characteristics and retain probably a little more weight but who cares. I would imagine it would be an optimum bullet for magnum calibers on really big game

The "Accubond" is a nosler Partition, with a Bonded core, Ballistic Tip point in a boat tailed design.....

As I've mentioned I've had separation issues with the Part. Don't get me wrong, I think the Partition is a great bullet. I just like the accuracy of the Accubond better and the fact the tips won't get deformed after loading and unloading or shooting the rifle (shells in magazine well). Now if they'd just make a Partition with a ballistic tip I think that would be a great improvement, maybe bond the nose section lead.

Happy to help. I have liked shooting Nosler bullets for a few years now and they just keep getting better. I tried some Hornady bullets but for some reason didn't shoot as well in my rifles. It's a great time to be a handloader but even the factory stuff is making it harder to justify the cost and time of doing it yourself.
I also researched a few of the other ballistic tipped bonded bullets out there now and I believe the Accubond would be best for deer and elk. I've shot the Scirocco but there seems to be more copper in the jacket and I think it penetrates further but tends to impart less energy. Same with the Interbond from Hornady. I like the thinner jacket on the nose of the Accubond, looks like it'll open up a little faster and transfer energy to the animal for the hydroscopic shock value (better for smaller game like deer) but with being bonded should still stay together well and penetrate pretty far too for a good wound channel.
Of course, this is just my brain and what I am theorizing. I could be all wet as I've not actually had a chance to shoot anything with them yet save paper targets (which they are very accurate).

If you dont reload and buy premier ammo, I believe Remington no longer puts Partitions on their .30-06 premier ammo. The switched everything except Ulta Mag ammo to Accubond
