I get better groups from the 130 grain ABs than I do from the 125 grain Partitions and the less expensive 129 grain Hornadys shoot to the same POA, allowing for a less expensive practice option. I may be the exception, but the 100 and 140 grain Partitions have always shot better groups for me than the 125 grain Partition. I am a big Partition fan, but the 125 grain 0.264" has always disappointed me, no matter how much I wanted it to work, it was never quite as accurate as the 120 grain BT, the 123 and 129 grain Hornadys, and the 130 grain AB.

Does anyone know how they preform on deer out of a 260? I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Shot into bone, they come apart. Shot through the lungs, they didn't expand much. I seldom shoot deer at ranges over 200 yards, so the 100 thru 130 grain Hornady SST and Nosler AB/BT/Partitions serve my purposes. I think that the 130 grain AB might be the best all-purpose medium to medium-heavy game bullet available in 6.5mm if for a bullet that has the best balanced potential for penetration, weight retention, and flat trajectory.

Custom barrel engraved "LVG Customs" and the chambering. Very accurate with 139 skinners after I put a Timney in it. Being on a 788 action, its the cheapest custom I've ever bought!
