[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2950014, member: 71817"] I am a fan of partitions. 165gr in 30-06 at 2750fps, 150gr in 270win at 2935fps, 100gr in .243win @ 2919fps. When the accubonds came out I jumped off the partition wagon for a bit. I shot the same accubond weight as partition weight in all 3 calibers. I found no difference in performance on game. Keep in mind that all my shots range from 40yds to 325yds. I've had consistent one shot DRT kills with all three calibers. Not so much with the accubond LR.
