[QUOTE="cajun, post: 1737870, member: 9772"] Seeing a lot of bullet threads lately. No matter what bullet, even the venerable partition, there is someone invariably With a story about the bullet “ blowing up”. Consider this. Unless you are shooting a monolithic bullet designed to retain nearly 100% of it’s weight your bullet is going to shed weight and in some instances come apart. The long range Accubond has a thinner jacket so it will still expand at lower velocities encountered at longer ranges. The obvious result of this is that at closer ranges it’s going to shed more weight potentially even the lead portion of the bullet. It’s very hard to have a bullet perform at high velocity close range and still expand at low velocity. So pick the bullet that best suits your needs and shooting distance. Also a non monolithic bullet is going to lose a portion of it’s weight regardless. That is how they are designed. Personally I have had great results with Nosler products and tend to shoot them exclusively. Ballistic tips, Accubonds and the old partition are some of the best bullets made for hunting. Just pick the one that best suits your needs. [/QUOTE]
