[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 2977255, member: 108926"] I have never used the bondstrike, but like you I used the partition for over 25 years, had a lot of success as well as a few failures, while I never lost a animal single animal with the partition, they did lead to recovery issues, I've had bullets tumble resulting in the loss of both front and rear core leading to failures of penetration, I've had bullets actually bend rather than expand, again leading to difficult recovery, I started to make the switch to Barnes back in the 90's and never looked back, which helped when my state outlawed lead projectiles, I've harvested well over a hundred head of big game since the switch, my feeling is I managed to hang tags on animals that I may have failed to recover if I had been using any other bullet, myself and a few buddies gave hammers a try for a few seasons they are a great bullet, I harvested a half dozen deer and a number of coyotes as well, only one of the coyotes dropped at the shot, with the Barnes I've had far more drop at the shot than I with anything else, I have not found a opportunity to take anything that was much beyond 600 yards while using the barnes, but when I have they have performed perfectly, im more concerned with penetration at close range than anything else, as for drop of in accuracy, its not likely the fault of the bullet as it is a change in harmonics, I've had accuracy changes accur in several rifles, I have always been to restore the accuracy by adjusting the load, sometimes its been found in seating depths or increases or decreases in powder charge, or a switch of powders, [/QUOTE]
