Post by: woodswalker on April 30, 2009, 07:35:55 AM: Nosler 160 grain Partition stoked with 63 grains of IMR 4831. This a touch OVER book..but works WELL in my brother's rifle.

YMMV

I dont have my book with me at work, so I am only giving an educated GUESS. Anyone have a nosler book handy to make sure???
