30-06 150 gr Partition? #11413960 09/02/16 Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 46,243 Oklahoma G gunner500 OP Campfire 'Bwana OP gunner500 Campfire 'Bwana G Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 46,243 Oklahoma Good evening Men, I have a new rifle I'm going to build a load for using the 150 gr partition bullet, H-4350 powder and look for a velocity at or near 3000 fps. It's a pre 64 standard rifle in with a 24" barrel, I have only shot game with 200 and 220 gr partitions in the old '06 and have been thoroughly impressed. This rifle will be mainly for deer, pigs, or maybe a black bear, max range that I can imagine will be 300 yards where I'll carry this rifle. For those that have used the light 30 cal partition, what did you shoot with it, ranges used, how do you like it, did you get adequate penetration? I've had 150+ of these old bullets for 20+ years and need to shoot them up on game, Thanks for the help on this light bullet trial. Gunner Trump Won!

It was a compressed load. I don't remember what powder they were using. All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

I've killed a bunch of deer and elk with 180s at 2875 fps and was always impressed. If elk and bigger game weren't on the list, I think I'd go with 165g interlocks--don't need the premium bullets for deer/hogs and 99% of the black bears you're ever likely to come across IMO.

With so many rifles, I tend to load the heaviest for caliber bullets, one load for one rifle that works fine on all game hunted in a particular rifles use zone. This rifle will be loaded with 200 gr partitions once these 150's have been used at the bench and on game. After seeing Ingwe's photos of heavier African game, the 150's should serve well. Where I'll hunt this rifle, my shots have previously been about 70% going away rib shots up into the vitals, I'll need all the penetration I can get from them. Plus, I saw a black rogue of a Russian boar at least 300 lbs in weight this spring, need to be able to put that bastard down hard too, especially on a ground encounter. Trump Won!

We found out 150 grain Sierra, Speer, Hornady and even early, soft Ballistic Tips were all deer getters, no problems. The old man could shoot too. He was an NRA small bore guy and did pretty well back in the day. After a few deer trips the regulars that traveled with him asked him why he brought more than one cartridge.

Also strange I'd have to ask about the effectiveness of a premium bullet for deer, I wouldn't have too if it weren't 90% thicket shooting. A clean rib or broadside shoulder shot is rare there.

As me & I'd go with its never losing that status. From my experience with Partitions (mule deer & elk), I'd doubt that one would fail to work as advertised within their intended velocities. BTW, do you have a copy of Ken Waters' Pet Loads? One more BTW, I think that you're gonna find that your '06 will kill just as dead as any .300 magnum w/o punishing recoil.

Back when my eyes were good I preferred Irons, mainly because I couldn't afford a scope I trusted on the .300 and its counter-intuitive but a nice flat shooting rifle is the way to go with irons. I put a bead on the front that covered 8moa....sighted it spot on at 200 yards, only a touch high at 100. At 200 yards the bead covered 16 inches, so it could act as a crude rangefinder, if you will. Bottom line on most critters, if it blotted the vital area out completely, they were too far to shoot at, if not, hold dead on. Came in handy. My PH spotted a big springbok ( a little critter) at what we later learned was 175 yards. " Can you hit him from here?" I put the bead on him and it didn't cover him up soooo, " Yep!" He went nuts when it actually worked! Got the Gemsbok above at 250 yards and an elk once at 350, steep downhill shot. Another kill with the .300 and 150 NPTs.. Last edited by ingwe; 09/04/16.

I always thought the 150 PT was perfect for deer. Used it on a couple of Black Bear too with the same result. You are good to go....
