keeps forgetting the good old Nosler 220 grain SMP Partition. Running 2650 to 2750 out of an
'06 with a stiff charge of H4831SC, its more than flat shooting enough to 300 yds plus.

and that high sectional density, it sure loves to penetrate thru all sorts of stuff.

Jeff O would accuse it of overpenetrating... whistle

and in the 270, I love its twin... the 160 grain SMP Partition @ 2900 fps.
4831SC once again to launch it out of the barrel.


Those two Partition bullets are my favourites. I use the 160's in my 270 Win and have used the 220's in a 30-06 and 308 Norma Magnum. The best I could get in the 30-06 was 2550 fps with RL 22, I needed the 308 Norma to get the speeds you are listing. I plan on getting a 300 WSM and the 220 gr Partition will be one of the bullets I'll use. Both of them are real hammers on bigger animals...........
