As I just mentioned in another thread here, Nosler NEVER advertised the AccuBond to be a plastic-tipped Partition, much less a solid or a Fail Safe.
Instead it was designed to hold together better than the Ballistic Tip, and thus to APPROACH Partition penetration. They always advised everybody who wanted the ultimate in penetration from Nosler bullets to use Partitions.
So why did everybody all of a sudden choose AccuBonds to go shoot really big game? The one that really got me was on another thread (AccuBonds failing in Canada or something like that) where the guy shot a moose in the butt with an AccuBond and it didn't penetrate far enough. Well, what do you know! He attached some photos of the failed bullets, and they looked like nicely expanded bullets to me....
So far the vast majority of the stories I've seen here about AccuBond "failure" have been by people who apparently expected them to act like Fail Safes--or shot them into sand or some other substance that resembles animal tissue like Africa resembles Antarctica.
On the other side, for every so-called "failure" there are probably at least 20 tales of consistent AccuBond triumphs, apparently by people who did not try to shoot moose up the butt.
Now, if I were going to hunt something really big with a Nosler bullet and a .338 I would choose the 250-grain Partition, not even the 210 or 225 Partition. The lighter ones are good bullets, and I have used them some, but when you want to really drill some big animal with a .338, there is nothing on the market that does it like a 250-grain Partition.

As the "crescent wrench" in the hunter's tool box I think the AccuBond are just about ideal as a multi-use bullet but one must understand that they are not the perfect pick for all scenarios.
