The combo of slower speed, and so-so bc with the 160 partitions will catch up to you if your shooting out past 300 yards or so. The partition will drop about 32" at 400 with about 1340 in energy, while a 140gr (bc of .495) will only drop about 26" with 1480 in energy for example. IMO the good ol' 270 hasn't ever been great with 160gr pills, generally speaking partitions are a good bullet. If you do some searching on the web or talk to others you'll also find that particular partition is often not all that accurate either in a .270...this may be that it's at the limits of stabilization abilities in the 1-10" twist 270. Just my 2 bits. Hope that helps.


Have you ever shot the 270/160 Partition in any rifle?
Have you ever shot any game with said bullet?
