Good Lawd, all this Whelen talk is making me want to load up some Partitions for elk season!
I use TBBC if I hunt elk. But I just got a box of 225 Sierra BT's to load for deer.
I've been using 60 gr REL-15 for a long time but some of the new data is intriguing. Is there any consensus on the top velocity loads?
I still have some Federal TBBC ammo that is very accurate at a little less than the advertised velocity of 2,600 fps. After trying a few other powders, I found that CFE223 is very accurate with 225 gr Partitions at a bit over 2,700 fps. Can’t quote the exact average velocity since I’m not at home with my load data, but I think it is like 2,724 fps. I just landed on that powder before the current shortage and had only tried a couple of other powders. I’m looking no further for a 225 Partition load. Happy Trails
