In a couple of fast-twist rifles, a .223 WSSM and .22/6mm Remington, the 60 Partitions average around an inch. I have also generally found faster twists help the Partition.
In my Savage Axis .22-250 (22" barrel with a 1-12 twist), the 64-grain Nosler bonded bullets averages under an inch at 3400+ fps with H414.

I had zero luck with the Nosler 64 BSBs in any gun I tried them in. Really wanted them to work.
Just found out the same in a Nosler BSB for the 6.8spc. Of course Ive only got the one gun to try them in, but it wasn't having any of it.
Luck of the draw I guess.

That's really good BSB accuracy. If I could get that knda performance it could become my go to bullet for hogs and such.
Like ingwe, it just hasn't happened for me, even in fast twist barrels.
And out of a Salvage...
Go figure.

The Axis shoots even better with the 40-grain Cutting Edge Raptor at 4300+, which really kills stuff too!

Bet even 2850 would be a fine short range deer or pig load, I may relent to pressured stunt shooting.

, I may relent to pressured stunt shooting. Well at least no one would accuse you of overcompensating then....

Pretty amazing, the accuracy of Cutting Edge bullets, at least the ones I've tried.

Launched from a AR15, into a small Texas buck. It broke the onside humerus, and stopped in the offside hide. ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/20150526_224146_zps3tlfdqru.jpeg) When you were eating it, did anyone ask "Something taste funny to you?" ?

Errr...no. Although Savage_99 supposedly went all a-tizzy when I posted the pic of the rifle, on the deer in question. ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/2014%20spike_zpsvnuzcsfi.jpg)

60g Nosler partition shoots 1 1/2" in a 14 twist, and they do better in a 9 or 12 twist. They really make a mess out of a deer out of a 22/250 with a 14 twist and max load of IMR 4350, win primer. These will often surprise you in how accurate they are out of a 12 twist or tighter.
I shot them out of a 12 twist Savage 12, 22-250, 34 grains of IMR-4064, kissing the lands. 3/4-1" best I remember with 3/4" being the norm. Shot quite a few deer with those including my largest bodied whitetail, somewhere in the 250+# range. Extremely short blood trails. In fact only ever had to track 1 deer, most died within 15-25 yards while quite a few were DRT. All deer shot were under 100 yards so velocities were still high which I feel made a difference.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Are they appreciably better than the 55?
I'd say probably not, but Wyoming requires 60 gr minimum in .224 caliber for hunting

If you are hand loading you can mark your ammo box however you want. Nuff said....
