Jorge,
Been using NPt's for 30+ years now. And yes, in my experience NPt's generally don't group quite as well as other bullets.
For a long time I've said if my NPt's will shoot a 1" three shot group I can get NBT's to shoot 3/4".
Of course their have been exceptions to that.

They shoot extremely well in my 300 Weaterby, as well as my Vanguard 30-06. My Model 70 300 HH loves them, both 180s and 200s to same POI out to 200, while the 180 Hornadys suck in that caliber. I am sure one can say the same about every other bullet out there.Point being, there are no absolutes in this game....

But they don't shoot..... 
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

That is not what he said, but if it makes you feel better...

Just to be contrarian, I just finished an article in the latest African Hunter magazine where author Terry Wieland related his hand loading experience with a lovely, Al Biesen custom 270 and his "never fail" 130r 270 load consisting of 59.5gr of H-4831 (he also stated H-4831 was the traditional "go to" powder in the 270). His results with three bullets (five shot groups) were as follows
Sierra 130gr- 1.1"
Swift Scirocco- 1.2"
Nosler Partition- 3"
Personally, Partitions have always shot well for me, but never the accuracy consistency I've gotten from TTSXs across calibers from the 257 Weatherby to the 338 WM.
Went out this morning to try out Wieland's observation with my tried and true load of 56r H-4350 F 210 primers and WW cases: 180gr Hornady Spire Points (MV ~2700 fps: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/Wby220gr_zpsi17sxu7w.jpg) With this load in your pocket, why do even experiment???
