The theory we had at the time was that the high velocity was causing the bullet to implode on the small hollow point cavity. From what I have read the shape and size of the cavity has changed and they have scored the inside to assist in opening. All I know is, it left a bad taste in my mouth and I never used those bullets again. I went home & pulled all the bullets and threw them in the recycle bin, and loaded up the brass with Partitions. The problem with Partitions is poor B.C.'s and they bleed velocity quickly.

I am interested in this new Hornady ELD-X to see if it is as accurate as they claim. Specially in the 257 Weatherby. It would be nice to have a high B.C. bullet to hold the energy down range, as long as it's accurate and it expands well. The Accubond is accurate, but doesn't open up as well at longer range. I really wish Nosler would make a Ballistic tipped Partition...Best of both worlds, problem solved!
