[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 209558, member: 10"] which accubonds were you shooting and what were they being shot out of as far as chambering? My tests were with my larger wildcats and I have only shot the interbond in two of them, my 7mm and 300 but in both cases the interbond tuned into a mangled mess of copper jacket with a bit of lead smear on the inside surface of the jacket. I have found that with the standard interlock that if the bullet stops expanding before it reached the innerlock ring it will retain very good bullet weight, if it breaks the interlock ring, the bullets fail nearly every time, by that I mean penetration simply stops. Same tests on the Accuonds did not show this effect with more velocity at impact. Certainly they lost more weight the faster they impacted but I could not push them fast enough to get a bullet to retain less then 50% original bullet weight. That was not the case with the Interbond or Partition in my testing. Again, at more comfortable velocity levels I could see how you got your test results. [/QUOTE]
