[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 5149532, member: 5958"] The cup and core bullets are constructed differently from the bonded ones. Cup and core perform differently depending upon range, velocity at POI, and whether or not there is bone close to the surface. A bonded bullet is much more solidly constructed and tends to perform the same at most distances. I have done a LOT of testing with cup and core versus Partitons. Absolutely no wiggle room here, Partitions are far superior. I have intentionally shot pigs head on with Partitions and drilled a hole right out the hams. When Accubonds came out by a conservative estimate I had 2,000 partitions. I developed a load for my 06 and carried some very hot A-bonds into the deer woods. from a stepped off 12 paces to 135 yards only two animals did more than drop like a rock. Both saw me and both were shot as they jumped for freedom. One ran 55 yards leaving massive blood trail. The heart-shot other one made it nearly 100 yards. Todays cup and core will kill deer. But for my coin a bonded bullet or one like the Partition is going to prove superior over time. [/QUOTE]
