Which Is The Better Bonded Polymer Tiped Bullet?
If this has been well covered my apologies. I am going to try a bonded polymer tipped bullet in a 300 WSM. There is a wealth of experience in this forum and I was wondering who prefers what and why. Thanks for any response.

I used Accubonds this year and everything I hit died. Good enough for me. I think partitions are coming out tipped this year as well.

The Barnes MRX will be out soon. That may top the "polymer tip" list.

A new failsafe that is tiped will be out this year. These will cost more but will be great in a WSM.

Winchester's new XP3 is the replacement for the Failsafe...

Leo, I've not tried the interbond but I have experience with both the AB and Scirocco. I like the terminal performance of the Scirocco better but the ease of accuracy of the AB.

As mentioned above, Barnes is coming out with its MRX and Winchester has the XP3. I've not heard of Nosler putting a tip on their partition but if they do, I'm sure it will be a decent bullet, but they'll have to work on their concentricity still to achieve desired accuracy compared to the other tipped bullets out there.

What I'd like to see is a tipped Aframe. And don't forget to read up on Swifts new Scirocco II.

I have had great luck with Winchester Supreme 150 gr ballistic silvertips in my 300WSM on Texas-size whitetail deer and hogs, BUT I think Accubonds or Nosler Partitions are better bullets.

The Hornady Interbond is less expensive and probably works as well as the others.
