165 grain Nosler Accubond is another good choice.

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 know im just looking to do some testing this summer just curious for some ideas

I'm a huge fan of the accubond.
have you tried the LR version yet if so how did it work

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.

(Same could be said for long range Accubonds)

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.
:yeah:
Accubonds are my favorite bullet.

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

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. :twocents:
