My uncle was a long-time employee of Sears. Almost everything we got in the '50's was JC Higgins, bought with, I'm sure, his employee discount. (For my 9th birthday I got a BB gun, a JC Higgins "Cactus Carbine." Anyway, my uncle had one of these in .270. It was probably the most hot-shot rifle anyone in our family had at the time, plus he handloaded. I can recall his telling me what a great bullet the Nosler Partition was, based on the amount of penetration he got in a cherry log out behind his house.
