[QUOTE="SilverbulletMAG, post: 1605817, member: 108181"] High speed is relative but I have a 30-06 that will shoot 180 partitions half MOA at 200 yards (haven't tested further yet) at close to 2900fps. That's pretty screaming in my book. Have a 6.5-300 that will shoot MOA out to 400 yards (furthest tested yet) cruising along at 3300ish fps. Couple 7-08s that lose accuracy over 2800fps and seem to prefer closer to 2650-2700fps. Also have a Creedmoor that will shoot pretty much anything sub MOA but will run 140 partitions just under 2900fps with a repeatable 3/4 MOA. I've not had issues getting partitions to fly well at normal hunting distances (what they're intended for of course). Start with a seating test and tune from there. Some say their rifles flat out won't shoot a partition but luckily, that hasn't been the case for anything I've tried so far. I was on the accubond bandwagon for a long time as the end-all-be-all but have started to come back to the partition as my main hunting bullet for any anticipated shots inside 400 yards.... [/QUOTE]
