[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 857656, member: 10"] Couple things I would like to mention, the A-Max will usually allow at least 3300 fps in most instances so even it is a better choice then the current ABLR bullets. The Partition, have not been a fan for quite a while. I have proven on several different occasions that if muzzle velocity is over 3200 fps and impacts are inside 400 yards, the potential for rupturing the partition is about 50%. Inside 300 yards this goes up to around 80%. Once the partition ruptures, expansion stops nearly instantly. In my testing, with velocity levels over 3200 fps, the standard Accubond is a far better choice over the partition, retains at least as much weight, higher BC and generally more accurate and surprisingly, generally penetrates deeper. For Muzzle velocities between 3000 and 3200 fps, and at ranges over 300 yards, hardly any problems. Muzzle velocities below 3000 fps, no real issues at any range. Muzzle velocities over 3400 fps, the partition will fail nearly 100% of the time at ranges under 400 yards. Now, I realize that many do not shoot chamberings that push these velocities but those that do, I have found the partition to be far less effective then a standard Accubond bullet. Just some observations with these other bullets at higher muzzle velocities. [/QUOTE]
