Partitions frequently shoot better as we approach maximum loads even with slow powders. I have seen it happen so often with things like the 270,and many magnum chamberings ,that I just wait for it to happen,and watch as the groups tighten up as max loads are approached.

Partitions aren't target bullets.But they aren't inherently inaccurate either. The fact that some rifles shoot them well,and some don't,makes me conclude that issues getting them to shoot are usually rifle or load related.


Same here. Run them a little harder. Seen the same thing over and over. Push them a little harder and watch them come together.

Also, don't be scared to seat them a little deeper as well. I've found a few rifles that do very well around .040-.060" deep as well.
