Partitions my favorite

[duckmen1]

Been loading 165gr. partitions this year with intentions on hunting with them and had accuracy at one inch groups going 2910 out the muzzle with 300wsm. Took an elk trip and shot a lead cow at 250 yards with complete pass through on the first shot through both shoulders and heart. She made it 20yards and put a second round behind the shoulder hitting 1 lounge and liver and she went right down. While cleaning her I notice the damage done by these bullets was amazing and still got awsome penetration.
loaded up 180gr. partitions going 2860fps with same accuracy. Might try that load next year.
anybody else have any success with these bullets

I use a lot of different bullets but I do love the partition. They are really a great hunting bullet giving both expansion and penetration. If I had to choose only one bullet it'd be the partition.

Its all I load

They are awesome.  I load my 300 win mag with 180 going 2929fps.  Great elk bullet and accurate to boot

270 winchester, 150 grain partition, 55 grs IMR 4831= Dead right there.

Playing around with 125 parts for a 6.5 grendel. Not bad need more load development.

Have loaded nothing but Partitions for years, in all my rifles...  .338 WM  with 210 Part. at 2910 fps. was deadly.   However, I have fallen in love with the performance of Accubonds.  They hold together just as well as Partitions, but fly so much better, and much higher BC.

The 225 gr. Accubond in out .338s goes out the barrel at 2850 fps.  Worked flawlessly at 25 yards and at 645 yards on bull elk.  Can not ask more than that..

No offense but you can easily get more velocity out of a 300 mag with 165 grains. 
 
If you're happy with that no problem.

I love Partitions for elk.   I don't shoot them at deer, because I prefer faster expansion, but man I love them on elk.

while im not shooting partitions,with bergers ive noticed,after getting more than a few bloody, that they perform better on animals at slower speeds...dad an uncle nev liked FAST partitions saying they didnt hold up,but who knows what kinda speed they were pushing

maybe theres a sweet spot for partitions too ??

[Dan-o]

I don't know.....   I don't load for speed.

My 160's leave my 7MM at about 3000 fps, as I recall.

They probably said that because partitions shed the front half. Its a common complaint but thats what they are supposed to do. The front half expands rapidly and violently and the rear half holds together and pushes through the animal. thats why there's typically quite a lot of blood shot when you kill and animal with a partition. Ive recovered a couple and the front half was gone. Anyways just thought I'd throw that out there as I see this complaint about them a lot but its completely normal.

If they had the B.C. of the accubond it's be all I'd use.

I have got loads to go around 3000 fps with 165 gr partitions but not as good of accuracy. I am only shooting a 23inch barrel also and noticed with different loads that my max powder charge isnt going much of any faster than 1 or 2 grains less because it is not having a chance to burn all the powder. Plus its going clean through both shoulders at 250 yards. Good enough for me for now. Plus I just started reloading this year so try to play it safe till I get more experienced.

I haven't gotten into loading but I only shoot Nosler Partitions in my Weatherby's, using Wthrby factory loads.

Between me, my son and brother in the last nine years we have 12 elk with my guns.  I shoot a 340 Wthrby mag, 210gr and loan them my 300 Wthrby mag, 180gr.  I have alway been impressed with the partition and how intact it remains for the damage it makes penetrating a shoulder or both.

I have recovered several of the bullets, usually through both shoulders and buried just under the hide.

Here is pic of partition after stopping in the offside of an elk.
