Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Recovered Nosler Partition (270 / 150 grain)

Now ewe our joust teeing tha piss mate... deems sheep fookahs down udder say it want weak. Gitcha closet dan 200 meterlogicals hoe yews dun knackered fur shiz, ya needsin doit sews yous can bag yer bangin matey.

it performed just like a powerbelt muzzleloader bullet that most people hate.

Why do people dislike them?

I shot a 240lb Whitetail buck in Iowa in December 2016 with a 338 grain Powerbelt Platinum bullet. Entered quartering to me at 111 yards. Perfectly mushroomed bullet found poking though the offside hide outside the ribcage during skinning. I hate em alright.

Recovered Powerbelt. Sorry for hijacking the thread.

MWN, It is a nice-looking bullet, typical of the Partitions I have recovered over the years. I myself collect recovered bullets with well over 100 documented and about 75 un-documented, (obtained from a meat processing plant). I shot Partitions handloads exclusively for decades then decided that the remainder of my hunting career I would use factory ammo, just to see how they preform. This year all I got was a deer tag, shot a fair sized 2 point on the last day, using a 30/06 and factory 220 grain Winchester Power point. I waited till it faced me and was able to recover the bullet. Classic expansion.

Nosler makes very good stuff...

SPS runs really great sales on their blems...

They killers sure enough

Yum yum

Share that “deer bolonny” at the next church business meeting. Always insist your processor smokes, dips cope, and 3 bandaids on his fingers.
Ask for the wound canal and shock clots to be never wasted. LOL

ole boy sliced me some of his cold cut and it had shiny lead glitter in it. 🤙👏🏻🤣🤮
Always process yourself ⭐️🕺🏽

Looks a lot like all my recovered A-Frames.

I like Nosler Partitions. But I love Swift A-Frames.

Or it never happened😜

I am surprised it did not exit. But I bet you take the same shot five times in a row and have a different outcome Meaning and exit, at least one of the five shots.

Perfect.....can't ask for more in a hunting bullet. Partitions have been kicking ass for well over 60 years.

Nice bullet recovery but in all fairness you can kill a deer with just about any bullet ever made.

Yeah, but sometimes finding a big buck after the shot can be a real pain in the ass.

I remember a guy who shot several times hitting and missing with a 7 Mag in NM once. He finally got close to the dying cow elk and put a couple rounds through her side. It stood there with legs splayed until he went back to his truck and got something bigger. He returned and whacked her between the eyes with a ball-peen hammer and she dropped like a rock.

At the end of the hunt the camp guys presented him with a hammer mounted in a rectangular wooden box.

Sometimes I think writers write when they should read. I remember in college, they said “those that could, did and those that couldn’t, taught”.

I have found that I keep shooting whatever is still standing and then I can make my own table of ballistic data found in my pockets after the hunt. Have bullets failed? Maybe in some circles, but when you get a bullet out of a dead animal, something worked…

I wouldn’t do that.

150 partitions are a pre-9/11 bullet design.

Read it everywhere on the inner toob. Once the creedmud came out game became bulletproof to everything else.

That dude on TBR is all over the board and makes statements that contradict reality from every else around the world.

As far as the .270 goes, there have been too many big animals from elk to moose, grizz et al that have been killed with 130's, 150's,....premium bullets, hand loads, factory C&C you name it. My step father passed away last year at 100. He started hunting elk in Colorado in 1948-49 with his Win. Mod 70 in .270. He killed everything with factory ammo and when I hunted with him in the mid 1980's he was using rem. 130 grain bronze points and continued using that combo until he switched to 300 Weatherby only because he got a great deal on Colt Saur and he liked pretty wood and thought the 300 would make them more deader. Thing is his first 4 doz.+ elk that fell to the .270 weren't any less dead than the next doz. killed with the 300.

Dumped a coyote the other day at 368 yards. He failed to catch the 130gr pro hunter.
