[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 211112, member: 4191"] I have yet to even hear of a Nosler Partition failing to expand, let alone experienced it myself. I have my own experience with the Ballistic Tip on the dall sheep, I was present with a hunting partner when he had a Ballistic Tip fail to open on a black bear which we recovered with a couple additional shots, and other hunters have told me of other Ballistic Tip failures to expand. I can't explain why - Only the after the kill facts. I've shot a few animals with Accubonds and no failures to report with them yet. I killed a bull caribou at 849 yards with the 7mm 160 Accubonds last fall and both recovered bullets expanded. Muzzle velocity at impact should have been right at Nosler's recommended 1800 fps.
