Partition vs solid base in 30 cal

[JD338]

Here’s a 6.5mm 140 gr Solid Base shot from a 6.5 Wby RPM at 3050 fps. Recovered one from water jugs and the other from a hog. It’s a tough bullet.

Gotta love the Partition, especially a .375 caliber one! Those Solid Bases are looking pretty nice though. It handled that velocity well.

I've wondered how these Solid Base bullets would perform on "things" other than paper. That's really good performance.

I've got some 30 cal 165's that shoot extremely well. I think I'm going to try some 150's in my 308

I plan on using the 375 260 gr PT on a deer this year to try them out. I recovered this one from water jugs.

That'll do!

New to nosler bullets .
Just curious how the solid base compares to the Partition? The solid base is think is used in the whitetail country loaded ammo ? Im guessing the solid base is more suitable for deer than the Partition? As the Partition is tougher for animals other than small whitetail ? We try to make neck or above shoulder shots . Thats why im kind of leery on the ballistic tip

Suggest the AccuBond for hunting over the Solid Base and Ballistic Tip. You are correct the Ballistic Tip does show more expansion and weight lost.
Suggest Zero with cheaper BT and fine tune with AccuBond your zero and hunt with AB.
Partition is a do all bullet from heavy to light game.
260gr in 375 is a lot of gun for deer !
