new hunting bullet ?

[wheels]

i currently use hornady interlock in my 165s in my 06  looking to try something new suggestions ?

[bobcat]

I like Barnes TTSX, either 150 or 165 grain in the 30/06.

165 grain Nosler Accubond is another good choice.

[Bob33]

What do you want to gain from a different bullet?

[wheels]

accuracy plus something with good preformance on deer/elk  something that would retain its weight 

[Taco280AI]

Barnes LRX

[Bob33]

Barnes bullets, the Hornady GMX, and Nosler E-tips will all retain most of their weight. Accuracy is a factor of many variables. With the right load, rifle, and shooter Interlocks can be very accurate. Conversely, a Barnes bullet can shoot poorly with the wrong load or rifle. Every gun has different likes and dislikes when it comes to ammunition.

I'm a huge fan of the accubond.

They shoot great out of my 7mm Remington mag. 168 gr nosler ABLR with 64.3 grains rl22 at .5".
I have dropped 2 elk and a caribou with no issues. Yet to have a bullet recovery though. Exit wounds have been 3x the size of the entry.

168gr ABLR is all I shoot in my 7mmRM anymore.  Even got the custom turret specific to that ammo for my scope.  They perform well on game at both close range and long range.

Nosler Accubonds. They stay together and will put down anything you hit with them. You won’t be disappointed.

[yorketransport]

I like Accubonds for a lead core bullet and Hammer Bullets for solid coppers. I’ve always had good luck with Barnes bullets too, but the Hammers have all shot better for me.

[The scout]

Like said accubonds. The LRAB’s do not have good weight retention at all.

[wheels]

i kinda think i narrowed down my search to  nosler either partition or accubond  or sierra tipped game kings

[bobcat]

Sierra's are kind of old school but usually will shoot as good or better than anything else, and the price is certainly right. However if you want a bullet that stays together, it's not the one.

(Same could be said for long range Accubonds)

[wheels]

leaning towards regular accubond

[wheels]

one other thing  tyhat might change things is the barrel was not floated before, and it is now so it might not even be bullet issue but im still gonna try stuff out

[Wingin it]

Another Nosler AB fan here. They have been flawless for me on deer and elk.

[gadwall]

My first choice is the Accubond.  Flies really well and performance on game from close to long range has been right down, right now!  The Hornady GMX would be my second choice as a couple buddies have had great success with them on elk.

Accubonds are my favorite bullet.

Two of the three you're looking at do what you're wanting, one doesn't. Don't ever plan on going from an Interlock to another cup and core bullet that has a plastic tip and seeing more weight retention. In an 06 you could go to a 180gr Interlock and see more weight retention just from the fact that the bullet will be going slower at ranges that make most cup and core bullets to come apart. Between Accubonds and Partitions go with what you're rifle likes more. I've abused Accubonds at ranges/velocities where the Interlocks ability to stay together has become questionable for me, and the Accubonds have held together. Partitions at the same velocities ranges have a tendency to blow the nose off so weight retention ends up close to %60.

After writing all that, I'd try 180gr Interlocks first then go towards Accubonds or Partitions.

have had zero issues with bergers… run the 168 hunters...

i figured out accuracy issues sounds strage but was the lead sled once i took it out was getting ince or so group still thinking between staying with interlocks and nosler partitions

A lead sled is the devi's rifle rest; they do terrible things to stocks, scopes, rings and bases.

Can you expand on that

All that force and vibration has to go some where

[Magnum_Willys]

A lead sled forces the rifle to a stop much quicker than your shoulder does.  Would never use one with a good rifle.
