Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game when is a Nosler Partition not adequate?

The nosler partition is the 30-06 of bullets! The one all others are compared too!

A 140 partition out of a 7 mag will punch a hole through a piece of 3/8 plate at 50 yards. Bad boy of the bullet world!!! The only thing I might have liked better is the old original Trophy Bonded Bearclaw.

50 yards isn't much of a test... Plus there's multiple reports of Bergers doing the same thing at greater distances....

Given a choice between a Berger and a Nosler Partition,the NP would win every time.

The Nosler Partition, Is a hunting bullet.

Yup,since 1948.

Well, never, as said above. But I don't own a rifle that doesn't better like something else for accuracy.. Which is decent, but not outstanding for the Partitions. I rate them "adequate +".

Mostly I've gone back to C&C - if I "need" a premium, Trophy Bonded have done well for me. I haven't fired a NP in probably 15 years, and have not found any inadequacy in my kills. Actually, I think almost the last time I used a premium it WAS a .338WM 210 gr. NP - and it blew up on the moose's shoulder blade, peppering the near lung with bb bits of bone and lead, not even reaching the far lung, at 100 yards. Never did find the rear part of the bullet. I think it must have fallen out the entry wound. Never used 210NP again, tho I think I did the 250's. They must have worked, or I'd remember it.....

So flay me for heresy.....
