Accubonds/Partitions vs Scirocco/A-Frames

And the frame is too hard.
Try with softer bullets. There are many of them on the market. Rws has perfect bull, and Eld-x is great for what you want. Accubond to
 
There's more great selections available than your picks, so give them serious consideration as well. I've had success with many of them with no particular favorite.
 
Use Barnes, always available, always accurate, and always kill what you're aiming at.
 
To answer a few questions, my shot distances would be anywhere from almost point blank to 400 yards max(Ideally 300ish). I know some folks like to shoot further, and are very capable, but I would prefer to stalk in closer. I originally bought this Rifle with the thought that both myself and my wife would be shooting it. She could probably get used to one of my '06's but hasn't spent any time shooting them.
As far as my quarry, primarily African plains game zebra/BWB or smaller. Eland is on my list at some point, but I will use a larger caliber/cartridge.
I guess my main concern all around is I want a bullet I can trust that also shoots accurately enough from my rifle.
Everyone who has chimed in has given me some great insight and I greatly appreciate it!!

For me, accuracy was:
1. Speer Gold Dot .23
2. 130 SCIROCCO .40
3. 143 AB .5
4. HAMMER .55

Field results:
1. SCIROCCO, hands down

Bigger animals, use a bigger caliber and A-frames, if they shoot well.

I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
