In theory it seems it would be a great bullet, more weight (slightly), higher sd and bc than 130 np, faster and slightly flatter than the 150. Seems it would bee the best of both worlds in regards to the Partition....

Has it been found to be an inherintly bad bullet? I'm serious, no sarcasm, just curious.


Thanks,

Bill I can only speak for myself of course. The partition is a good bullet. It does just exactly what it was designed to do. However in my 270 rifles I can not get it to shoot as well as other bullets do no matter what. None of the partitions can I get to shoot as accurately as I want a bullet to perform.

BCR I agree the partition is a good bullet, I have used it in 130 gr in one of my 270's and I currently run 100gr partitions in my 260. Have used it in a couple other calibers as well.

I was mainly referring to the 140 gr partition and why its rarely mentioned.

Did notice on vote for it since my first post.
