I've been using the 260gr. partition and they shoot very well in my old rifle. However, I haven't seen them for sale at SPS in a while, so I have been thinking about trying the 300 gr. partition. SPS has them on sale for $23.95/bag. Do you guys have a preference toward one over the other? Thanks...

Whatevers on sale is always my first choice. Ha ha... Me too... I was at Cabela's the other day and saw a box of loaded ammo with 260gr. nosler partitions. It was only $80.00.....

Have about 10-12 boxes of 300 gr Sierras to use up. Then it's about the same for the Hornady's,round nose and spitzer boat tail.. Have plenty of 300 gr bullets to last me awhile.

I had good luck with the 260 gr Accubond, but they're nearly impossible to find.

I figure after I burn up my 260gr. partitions, I'll start on the couple hundred 270gr. Hornady SP interlocks I have... However, the 300gr. Nosler partitions are intriguing... The bitter roots I have, will probably never get used....

The recoil is significantly more with a 300gr vs 220gr or 250gr.
I really like the 260s.

250-grain TTSX with RL-15 for my .375 Wby works well.

1917, I have been shooting the 260 Accubond in my .375 H & H. They seem to shoot flat and hit hard.. Took a moose and an elk with them last fall.. But here I hunt much more open country than you would in Oregon.. I am not sure how many bullets I have for my .375 I don't hunt with it often.. But it sure is a killer..

Mostly 260gr Noslers, great killers here on deer & elk. The little sleeper for me is the Sierra 250gr. I've had more bang flops with that bullet than any other. When I need tough I'll look for the 270gr TSX. But I have no plans to hunt Africa anytime soon so honestly I haven't tried the TSX. Just heard from trusted sources they lay the smack down on everything over there including Buffs.

I shot three deer with the 220 Hornady and it works great.
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I have used the 260 gr Partition to take a couple of elk. I have now dialed in a load using the 270 gr TSX for brown bear next year. So no preference really.
Conduct is the best proof of character.
