I used the 175 Partition a lot. Loaded over H870 mostly or R22 & H4831, they ran about 2,950 fps with my 23" barreled Dakota. One deer hunting trip I grabbed the 175 elk loads by mistake and found out how good they worked on deer and hogs too. I still have a couple of boxes of the old screw machine semi spitzers with the relief groove around, the ones Warren Page used in Old Betsy. I switched to 160s because of Bob Hagel's writing and then later switched to Barnes as the grass is greener theory rather than any short comings of the Partitions.


Same here but I use the 175 Partition or BBC out of the Mashburn at 3050-3100 and it’s been excellent to me. I know there are better bullets but this one and the BBC especially work excellent for me.
