I have not spent gobs of time trying to get accuracy with PT's but each time I do try I get mediocre to lousy results.
If I could ever get them to go in my 280 & 300 WSM, there would be no other bullet used. I made a load for my buddy's 300 that was 3/4 minute right out of the box. 200 NP over one grain off max of 7828ssc. Around 2850 and dead on out to 800 yards. All that I have read tells me that the 300 is very easy to load for. Use Nosler COAL. They seem to be spot on with that. What have you tried? NPs shoot great in every rifle that I own and half-minute in most.

You guys think this partition load is accurate enough and will it penetrate good enough????:
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'd go with which bullet my rifle shot best and not look back.

My 22 year old daughter shoots NP 100 gr. out of her Savage 110, weload 42.4 grains imr 4350 for about 3000fps. It shoots these somewhat hot loads at under minute constantly. She has taken 22 WT deer with it. No misses so far. All very dead. Killed a 500lb Russian cross sow with one heart shot. Also I've done in several varmits harrassing our cattle using it, and several deer and hogs, some big bucks.

I've used a lot of the 180 grain Nosler Partition seconds in my .308 for deer for many years. Deer shot anywhere from 40 yards to 140 yards. Most are 1 shot and dead right there.

Oddly, the 150's produced the best group to date in the 280 but I was unable to repeat it. That load was one grain over Nosler's 7828 load.

I have a "one rat study" with the Nosler Partition. I used a 286 grain 9.3x62mm at 2300 fps and change on a black bear, at about 50 yards. No exit hole, no bullet fragments, one dead right there bear. I would have to say the bullet failed from a necropsy point of view. I plan on deer hunting with my 22-250 in Georgia this fall, or may upgrade to a big bore, the 257 Roberts. My current 22-250 choice will be the factory Federal 60 grain NP. The 257 Rob with be a 100 grain Barnes X bullet descent, handloaded with H414, about a half grain below maximum listed load. And to think I over-killed my first dozen deer with a Remington 700 chambered in .308 Winchester, Remington 180 grain PSPs. Always two holes no matter what the angle. Not a lot of meat wasted, usually a couple of seconds before they fell down where shot. No spectacular tracking jobs, no dramatic stores. Unless you point blank shoot deer with varmit bullets, or overdrive something with a Magnum in the name, everything usually comes out all right. Lets not talk black powder. If I had lived in the 1700s, I would have starved if the vegetable garden didn't come in.

I once shot 2 deer 20 seconds apart with 165 partitions out of a .30-06. Both were DRT. The second deer was one that my son had wounded, but I didn't know that when I shot.
