Anyone ever experiment with these three bullets to see how or if point of impact differs ?
I will be trying these in my 7MM WSM
 
I've shot them all in a 7RM and also 7-08....140's, 150's and 160's.

Had no problems working up 1" groups with all of them. POI is different with all of them.
 
Partition is a different flat based animal and the poi could be considerably different.

I shoot 140 Btips and Abonds in a .264 mag. Mine shoots btips .25 moa left and high out to 800 with a 200 zero, and group sizing was larger by .25-.5 moa. They are .010 shorter but when seated it is split so the cartridge oal is -.005 without adjusting the die. Chrono'd 3205 while the Accubonds avg 3180. I could have reduced the powder a few tenths but didn't.

Nosler states the same BC for similar weight offerings, they aren't but they are close.

So for all intensive purposes and real world hunting to say 500yds they shoot virtually the same in my rifle. When I finished the last box of Btips I stuck with the Abond. Probably shot 150-200 of each last winter.

I wouldn't hesitate to use any of the three you mentioned.
 
The only rifle I have that I've used both Partitions and BTs, they shoot close enough to the same POI that I've carried both on the same hunt! That said, there's only one way to know...
