I need some advice for deer hunting bullets. I was given about a 60 lb box of 270 bullets for reloading. They’re almost all Nosler bullets in old, vintage boxes. I got partitions and solid bases in 130, 140 and 150 grains. Anyone out there old enough to have used these? If so, how did you like the performance? I’m especially interested in trying the solid base Nosler bullets. I’m not sure I’ll be able to shoot all these in a lifetime without having to rebarrel. What say you? Any good loads with these bullets?
Thanks
Jeff

We have killed tons of critters with them. Though I favor the accubonds now days I still have several rifles with partitions ready to roll any time for any critter.

The older Nosler Partitions I would save for when I needed deeper penetration. I had a 180 grain in .30 caliber go thru three feet of moose and go sailing off into the sunset. The 140 grain 7mm SB bullet penetrated thru two feet of deer.
Your .270 bullets should be constructed the same as what I experienced with the 7mm bullets. The gun I shot them in was a 7mm Mauser loaded hot. The 140's for me chronographed 2985 fps. The moose was shot with a .300 Win Mag.
To sum my my post: I liked the Solid Base bullets and felt jacket construction was slightly thicker than the Ballistic Tips of the same weight in 7mm.

Hi all. Posted this in the Deer Hunting Section but maybe here was more appropriate

I've been loading Nosler Partitions for both my .270 and my sons .30-'06 for over 30 years. We shoot 150 gr. in the .270, and 180 gr. in the '06. I've been tempted to try out some of the new bonded bullets, however the Partitions have never failed us, so I stick with them. And, I have about a 30 year supply of each caliber, so I probably won't be switching any time soon. We have experimented with different powder loads over the years, and I would be glad to share load info if you are interested. The powder we use is IMR 4350.

Is this what your bullets look like? I discovered some old flat base 125gr 6.5mm Partitions in my grandfather's reloading gear after he passed away.

The 150’s shoot awesome out of my .300 SAUM. Use them up, they will work just fine.

Here’s more up close
my bag of seconds has a cheaper price on it. I think it's less than $3.00. I did buy those last century though.
