[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 857809, member: 11717"] That is interesting Kirby. I shot the 160 Partitions in a 7 RM with an MV of 3000 and they worked fine for me on a bunch of critters form 15 to maybe 300 yds. But that of course wasn't pushing them over 3000. Then maybe they should make the base core a tougher alloy and/or toughen up the partition portion. I think it's basically a good design that needs refining. Also, my only experience with an AccuBond was a 180 shot out of a 300 WSM @ 3000 fps. Hit a cow elk in the spine at about 150-200 yds and came apart. Entry to exit was about 16" near the top of the cow's back and the exit hole was a gapping 3". I found a small piece of shrapnel in the exit wound, so I am a little skeptical about how well they would hold up to a high velocity quartering shot through a heavy shoulder bone. And Paul has said he will not use the Amax anymore on large game because he had one evaporate on a moose's shoulder. Well what ever, I think Nosler or any other company could come up with a tough, high BC Long Range bullet if they gave it some effort. [/QUOTE]
