Is .3075" under sized in your opinion. It is not in mine. It has shot well in every rifle i tried it in, but it is a hunting bullet. Never designed to be a match bullet. The 10 elk i have killed with them proved their performance.


I did not say "undersized" and i am not denying their lethality, the partition probably being one of the best big game bullets on the planet. i love them and would shoot them at anything that walks. all i was doing by mentioning the smaller diameter is to explain WHY they are capable of equal velocity to the 180's which measure a true .308. thus dispelling the "magic" portion of the post. you will NEVER hear me speak ill of a partition, they just plain kill [bleep]. at all ranges, even when heavy bone is contacted.
