I prefer a partition or bonded premium 180-200 gr bullet. Which one depends on which shoots best from my rifle. My .300 Jarrett, with a pac-nor barrel doesn't shoot Nosler Partitions for beans, and it seems to shoot best with 200 gr. bullets. This year I used Accubonds and the bullet performed great on the one elk I shot with it.

I follow interest the calibre 300 Jarrett not
Of that she case I can make it is this dimension can you to give them to me thank you

Of the current premium bullets available I would strongly recomend that which you are apparently using, the accubond in 200 grains.

If you got good service from the accubond, why change? I found that the 200 gr Speer Grand Slams were a good alternate in my 300Win. Woodleigh makes a good bullet.

If you want a tougher bullet than the Accubond, the North Fork 200 gr .308 shoots extremely well from most rifles.

Well cobrad it sounds like you found out about the Nosler Partitions they don't shoot as well as a lot of other bullets for most people. It's sounds like the Accu-bond did just as you wanted it to do. Why are you fixing what isn't broken?

I would try the 200 grain North Fork, the 200 gr Swift A Frame, and the 200 gr Trophy Bonded Bearclaw.
A 200 gr bullet is a great choice for elk and bigger game in the 300 mag.
The last 2 elk I killed were with the 200 gr TBBC.
I recovered the bullet from each. Perfect performance.
One shot at a little over 100 yards the other at a little over 300.

I had the same questions regarding my .338 mag. I took a look at the Northfork and never went back. The first one I'd try is Northfork.

I'd bet not... truthfully, most of what comprises these forums is a lot of guys talking to themselves while feeling rather smart doing so...(present company excluded of course ).

You got me, neverflinch

I never look at the dates, I just drop the clutch on the fingers (lots a times before the brain gets the gas).

Just figured I would tell you guys before it got carried out any longer. It would be funny if a two year old post got turned into a three page thread.

Like others have said, if it aint broken, why fix it? However, from the tests I have read comparing bonded bullets, the Hornady Interbonds retain around 90% give or take depending on impact velocity which was more retained weight than the Accubonds. I watched a buddy shoot through 30" of Elk with an Interbond @ 80yrds and the recovered 165gr bullet retained 89%. I am developing a 165gr Interbond load for my 30Gibbs which I hope to get 3100fps mv with. The 9 Barnes bullets I have killed Elk with were all pass throughs. They were great at breaking bones, but I was unhappy with the 3 of the 4 that passed only through lungs/liver. I think the bonded bullets are the way to go.

You're not the first person to report this......and it seems Hornady is doing a very poor job of telling us what a good bullet their interbond really is.

Try the 180gr tsx.They are very accurate in my rifles and fouling is virtually non existant.
