Thirty+ years ago I used to make a bunch of that 4064 load for my father. He was getting a lot of deer camp invites in a number of states when he was in charge of selecting and buying different kinds of expensive parts and equipment for his company. Strange how that happens.  Anyway, it was fun for this kid to be trusted enough to load ammo for "serious" work.

Which one was you?

Gunner, try them. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. The 150gr. partition is a tough little pill... Good medicine for any big boar you run across... Without a doubt. With the few I've shot into jugs and seen a few deer hammered with them I'd really not have any problems running them against larger animals as well. Right now it's the bullet I use in my Granddads 300 Savage. Looking forward to seeing how you make out. I'd think a 150 Partition or Accubond would be right in the perfect wheelhouse for deer hunting. Good info, Thanks beretz, if I can bust a quartering away buck in the ribs and get up into, or through the shoulder, I'll be gold, and he'll be golden, brown that is.

That was definitely part of it. 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.

Cool story all around MM, it is sad that Men like your Pop, and his shooting skill, and probably the Man he was/is, are largely a dying breed.
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.

I shoot with an old gunnery "sarge" from Quantico that always says "52 grains of 4064 and a good 150 grain bullet is all you need in a 30-06". While I have my doubts, I don't argue with him. .
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I can't imagine the Partition not getting the job done. I'm gonna give em a fair shake and put em where they belong Mathman, we shall see.  I'm ready to get started, just came down off the mountain, the deer have licked the mineral rocks smooth this summer, a black bear tore my trail cam off the tree.  I'm gonna punch that bastid with my bow if he shows Oct 1st!

I am going to put the 150 grain Partition to work this year on feral hogs myself, not at 3000 fps but more like a bit over 2800 fps from my 308. I have zero doubt the bullet will play it's part perfectly.

LOL. Funny stuff, Ingwe. Nice pic of you and your twin brother.  Nothing much an 06 and a 150 partition won't do.

you will hit a home run There it is Keith, I jammed a test load in with moderately heavy bolt close, extracted dummy round measured 3.320" on the money, will start chrono loads at 3.310" and 59 grs H-4350. I'm waiting on my stock, it's off getting the checkering re-cut, haven't decided on a scope yet, but leaning hard towards a Redfield Revolution 4-12x40.
