For self defense, the best all-around 40 cal bullet out there is Winchester's Ranger T in 180-gr. Product #RA40T. Breath Relax Aim Sight Squeeze

The XCR is a huge hit for Remington in its first year; hence, there's a big backlog of dealers / FFL's waiting for their orders to be built and shipped. I have the 700 SPS Stainless with 24" barrel and Limbsaver Recoil Pad and it's a very nice rifle. XCR gets a better coating and the Hogue...

Thanks Guys: How many fps will 55 grains of IMR-4350 behind 180-gr. AccuBonds in a 30-06 achieve? Steve How does RL-22 perform?

Good Idea: ....If one desires a tougher bullet than current Partitions, then upgrade to the CT Failsafes.

...Anyone used Fail Safes on bear or just Partitions or AccuBonds?

I too would suggest heavy for caliber Partitions for bear, but would a medium size Fail-Safe bullet also work?

I prefer heavy for caliber Ballistic Tips (as Nosler recommends) for hunting applications. Light skinned animals get a 180-gr. 30-06 Ballistic Tip, while heavier game get 180-gr. AccuBonds or Partitions. Ballistic Tips (BT's) were designed by Nosler for violent expansion / explosion and medium...

Nosler: Could you please point me in the right direction for reloading 180-gr. AccuBonds in a 30-06? Need info for bolt action and semi-auto. Thanks! Steve

150-gr. AccuBond or 180-gr. Ballistic Tip.

The thinner the game, the thinner the bullet! (Smile)

I've found many advantages to using Ballistic Tipped bullets that are heavy for caliber. Ballistic Tips (BT's) were designed by Nosler for violent expansion / explosion and medium penetration on light skin type animals like deer and antelope. For most calibers shooting BT's, you're better off...

I suspect that a 150-gr. AccuBond in a 300 RUM at 3,500 + FPS will behave (on game) similar to my 30-06 shooting Winchester 180-gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips (BT's) at 2,750 FPS. This heavy for caliber BT bullet has similar contours as the AccuBond with more aggressive jacket profiles than 165-gr...

I agree: If both the AccuBond and Partition can fully penetrate the animal, the AccuBond will most likely provide a larger exit wound. Given the choice of the two premium bullets, I'll always choose the AccuBond if I feel it'll provide adequate penetration in most cases. If I'm unsure, the...

P.S. No affiliation with Nosler other than one of many satisfied customers. :lol:

I believe the AccuBond is the best all-around bullet you can choose from. For starters, the AccuBond is a Ballistic Efficient round with an aerodynamic BC of .509 - enabling more downrange energy on target. Example: When comparing a bullet's energy in a 30-06 versus a 300 Win Mag, if you...

While my shots are on target in the field, they're nothing to brag about except they hit their mark. At the range is another story where I like to pickoff flies on the targets or aim for an exact corner of a letter or spot on the target that's around a 1/4". Steve

Here's another one: http://shootersforum.com/showthread.htm?t=19761 Steve P.S. Concerning the 3 Action Screws On a Model 70 Winchester, it's usually best to set all three screws to 20" pounds and then adjust the front & rear screws to 30" to 35" pounds - leaving the middle screw at 20"...

I've read those good articles and recently corresponded with the authors, who've given great public and personal advice!!! Steve P.S. Seems that the front part of a partition has similar bullet construction to the excellent Solid Base design and that is what I like about Nosler's Flagship...

I agree with you concerning Speer's Hot Core being high quality for a regular bullet. I have about a dozen boxes of leftover Federal 165-gr. with the Hot Core round at 2,810 fps MV - and - they're accurate too. One other amazing thing - the above round has a high BC of .444, which is very...

I prefer the Partitions or AccuBonds as well, but there are two guides (going against the grain) suggesting 180-gr. Ballistic Tips (BT) in a 30-06 for elk. They both feel the Partition isn't expanding anymore and acts like a FMJ; I disagree with their observations and just wanted to inquire if...
