Jorge-Actually the accubond was brought into the discussion after you introduced hornady bullets and attacked all boattails which accubonds are.

Actually the Ballistic Tips, like the Solid Bases which preceded them, have the same "solid base" construction as the AccuBond. How well they may or may not hold together or penetrate has nothing to do with the fact they have a boattail. With the thicker jacket and bonded core, the AccuBond is tougher--but it has nothing to do with the boattail. The point was the generalization about the boattail was false.

Don't worry, if I'm ever lucky enough to hunt Cape Buff, I won't try a shot at 400 [Eek!] , in fact I won't be trying it with a 30 caliber either....

BTW, if your rifle likes Ballistic Tips, it should like the AccuBonds just as well. I think you'll be much happier with their terminal performance.

Yep, I'll be sure to give Accubonds a try. "Attacked? all I said was that conventional boat tail bullets don't hold up as well as flat based. Everything I've ever read, spoken with or experienced seem to bear this out. I don't think we'll agree on this one, so let's just agree to disagree. jorge

Jameister,

That 7x65 rimmed should make a beautiful little single shot. I've shot the partition in the 7MM Remington and the 7STW with both bullets. In my opinion the partition is the best bullet. It is almost as destructive in the chest cavity as the BT but penetrates much further. In the 7x65 the diffence may not be so marked but why take a chance. Given that the NP will shoot as well as the BT why not go for tissue damage and pentration.
