Left to right:

1. Remington Core-Lokt 185-grain 8mm
2. Hornady 220-grain .323-diameter (8mm) Spire Point
3. Barnes original "X" bullet in 8mm (.323") 200-grain

the "x" line has diminished and many have gone obsolete/discontinued which is a bummer as did many of sierra's i've used for decades. on sierra it wasn't what was a slow to a not selling well it was a shift of focus to the tipped and match line. while a not on the books or listed bullet they did offer a 26cal 92.6gr (i don't have my keys to the cabined or i'd know exactly what the grain is) as it was an odd number about 8-10 years ago so i bought 2-3k best i remember for the 6.5grendel.
 
Man I'd love to get some of those Partitions for my 454 as well! The only bullets that I own that fit into this category are Hornady Interbonds. Me and a buddy love them and they've been discontinued. I searched hard online for a few months and rounded these up. Wish I could find some more 150gr 30 cal & the 129gr 6.5's. You can still find some of the 270 ones occasionally.

I can vividly remember MidwayUSA running a promotion where, if you bought enough boxes of Nosler bullets, you got a free Nosler hat; at the time, they were selling the 100gr .257 Ballistic Tips for $10 a box.

I forgot about my stash of Hornady .375 220 gr FP bullets for my 375 Win!
Still need to load up a 100 or 200 rounds so I can take it out to play and hunt again!
That rifle is just a lot of fun to shoot and to hunt bears with. :cool:

HAven't used it much for several years as I lost a certain amount of interest after the stock cracked and was repaired...but is just wasn't as nice with the stock not refinished...now that I have it in Boyd's stocks, I do need to start shooting and packing it again. And put that VX-R 2-7 to good use!

Love that rifle.
 
I have more 285gr 375 cal GrandSlams than I will likely ever shoot. I have heard mixed reviews on them, and think I have about 200 older ones (based on the lead oxidation) and maybe 500 of the newer generation ones.

Well... Maybe I'll shoot that many. But I also have a slew of 270 and 300s to burn through as well. And 375 reloading is a margin more expensive than 35 Whelen.

I got a BUNCH of those on a MIDWAY Overstock sale. @ $0.25 each they make good practice bullets. I have a 1gallon Ziplock Bag about 1/3 full of 300gr Partitions to Hunt with
