I just checked on their site and they claim 60-70% weight retention. I think it was a few years ago that I saw the 85% claim.

Thanks for the weight. Wow only 68.54% weight retention. I wonder if their statistic was done in ballistic gelatin! Don't they claim like 85% or something like that?

Nope.

The Partitions are designed to retain 2/3 of their weight. This bullet performed EXACTLY as advertised. :brew:

But this is an Accubond. We got off topic and started babbliing about the partition. This bullet is an accubond

Thats where the Partition popped into my head. :P

The Accubond is designed to retain 60-70%,so the bullet still perfromed exactly like it was supposed to.

Interesting. I would have thought it would have retained more but like I said it's blown right through everything I've shot with it this year and i've been impressed.

you were right on.

I think I may have to try the partitions. Maybe if I start know I can test a few before next October.

Have you shot any elk sized critters with that rig? I thought about rebarreling my 7-08 to 260.

No. I've shot 1 bear, 2 deer, and 2 Antelope with the 260. My daughters have shot 4 deer with the 260. It's just a wrecking ball. I would not hesitate to shoot an elk at 300 yards or less with it. I absolutely love the 260 for it's hitting power, penetration, and lack of recoil. It's awesome.

What range would you limit yourself on deer?

Well if I thought I could hit the deer I'd take the shot but my personal max range would be about 400 yards whether I was shooting a 260 or a 30-06. I wouldn't worry that the bullet would do the job I'd worry that I'd make the shot. 330 or closer and it's as good as  dead though.
