So far in this thread the "negative" opinions about Partitions have been second-hand quotes about which other bullets PH's recommend, but there haven't been any detailed examples of how Partitions failed. I'd be very interested in reading about specific examples, because am still eager to learn.
Kinda like any other Nosler Partition thread.... Yes there are plenty of great bullets out there nowadays..( I like Swift A- frames in the context of this thread...) but the NPT is one of the few sure bets in life...it will work! Right again Men, those 300 gr 375 cal Partitions are so crappy I just bought 10 boxes from SPS today, that should keep the old pre-64 375 perking along just fine for awhile.

An earlier SPS sale is how I ended up with a few bags of 300 gr Partitions...  Guy

Thanks Guy, that's a nice stick, you need to get that rifle to Africa, gotta build a history with it Buddy. Ya, it deserves to be used. ALMOST took it to Alaska for grizzly last spring, but decided on the lighter 30-06 instead. The smaller rifle worked fine, but in retrospect I kind of wish I'd smacked that big bear with my big rifle. Guy

I've got 3? boxes of 300gr NPs, brass aplenty, but no .375 rifles at the moment. Obviously that needs to change,

There is a good guy, selling a great .375 H&H, Weatherby Vanguard, with a LOT of cool stuff, like a McMillan stock, Leupold scope & more... asking a very reasonable price, over on the Nosler Reloading forum. I haven't checked to see if it's in the classifieds here or not.
Heck of a rifle.

There is a thread on another forum here that says the .30-06 sucks, and yet another that says its obsolete. So you'd best go back to Alaska and slay another bear with the .375!!!

I guess packing an old '06 will get you eaten by a big bruin...  Don't ask Phil about the '06, just read his by-line... If hunting a big bear, I'd be packing my .375 H&H, likely stoked with 270 TSX's or 300 NPT's, either one should do the trick if I do my part. DF

Ingwe,I think this is an earlier version of the Whitworth,as there is no barrel band.

That scope on Elk's rifle looks more like a 2.5x to me. I've got an older 3x on my 375 Ruger Number One, aka "Dad's bear rifle." ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/J1toCsjl.jpg) Guy

Ingwe, I think this is an earlier version of the Whitworth,as there is no barrel band. Ingwe had a real nice one with exceptional wood. When he converted to trick shooting, he sold it. DF

Ken, that is a seriously nice rifle. Love the straight-grain stock! I remember when those Interarms Mark X Whitworth rifles were readily available... Should have helped myself to a pair of 'em way back when. Of course, I was in the Marines then and pretty much broke. Sigh... A pair of 'em in 30-06 and 375, and I could have taken any big game... But, I didn't have the money for big hunts either. Gotta quit hallucinating! Guy
