Well the 165 gr Partition did exactly what it has been designed to do for so many years. 148yd free hand shot. Meat in the freezer. Thanks all for your assistance and patience while I worked this load out. I'm still not totally done on a set OAL yet. This is why it keeps us going.
This is the load that I have been leaning towards. 57.0 gr and the group itself was looking fantastic until oops my bad. I know 2 shots does not make a good group comparison but even with a classic Partition kicker it would still be a sub 1" group. I have not seen any animals that walk away from...
All of the brass was Remington. The others all ejected like butter. The primers all look perfect and the same. I'm a bit stumped. I will measure all cases with a caliper to see if any differences between them.

I'm now a bit unsure. The 57.0 gr load was a perfect group until I had the rear bag slip and the 3rd shot went high. The 57.5 gr load had the first shot high and was hard to eject. Will inspect the case for a reason the other 2 shots were great. Both tight groups. The 57.0 gr load is hitting...
Thank you so much for this info. It is such a big help. I had concerns running the loads up to 57.5 gr. All people say that 57.0 and 57.5 gr loads are a perfect match for the 165 gr and the 30-06.
Hi folks, I am looking to see if there is any Quick Load info for 30-06 Win 22 inch barrel 165 gr Nosler Partitions H4350 CCI200 Primers 3.355" OAL. I have done a search and only found the data for the Ballistic Tip. I'm unsure if this data would be the same for the Ballistic Tip and the...
The Nosler tables does list the 57.5grn load of H4350 as it's most accurate load they tested. Maybe it's worth the play to gain that extra fps out of the 165 pill.
If you look at my pics of targets the 56.5grn load is not a bad grouping. The 57.0grn is not bad as well. Maybe I just never decided to try to run OAL set to see if either of those loads would tighten up for a group. Maybe it might be worth my time to try them. I just loaded a length from a...
OK. An update on the 55.5grn load and seating depth. It looks like the load with the 3.360" OAL is what this old Win Mod 70 30-06 seems to like the best. It measures out to just around a .7" group. I think for a hunting rifle that should just do the trick.
Im trying to figure out which is the OAL that would be best to use to make length ladder loads. Would you use the full length measurements using the base to tip or using the Ogive length?The hard part which makes me think I should use the tip length is i know the max Magazine length the the...
Well trying to get back at it after a dryer belt breaking and a dishwasher fill valve broke and clean up that mess. My digital calipers decided they no longer want to work with me. New calipers and have now checked that the maximum magazine length is 3.390". I will start loading with 0.010 from...
I just checked the OAL of my case with the bullet seating the lands and found that it is 4.410". Backing and starting .020" from the lands will not fit in the magazine at all. I will check the full length capacity of magazine and then have to start from there. I am hoping that this will help...
