The Solid Base jacket is extruded just like the BT, with the same underlying design with the heavy [solid base]. The only real difference being the lack of the poly tip. The SB tends to exibit more controlled expansion than the BT.

I would agree with the other guys, but there isn't a 150gr Accubond in .270. The 140gr Accubond is about the same length as the 150gr Partition though I would just suggest seating the bullet further out of the cartridge. That is of course assuming that your magazine will handle the length and...

From what I see the 30-165 and the 338-200 both say Summer 2006.

Congrats! And you must have a very full freezer.

Honestly with the point blank range capability with the 225gr partition in the 35 Rem Mag I wouldn't even think of loading the 180 PHG bullet. With such low bc and sd the effectual gain from the lighter bullet will be lost rather quickly once that bullet leaves the barrel. There are threads...

This is a reply from a source at Leupold. I've made my decision on the VX2. Hope that this is of some help to you 7mmfan.

Speaking from a hot 45-70 load standpoing. Can be devistating on smaller deer. My dad took a quartering to shot on a blacktail buck a few years back and we named it the shoebox deer. The cut and wrapped meat barely filled a shoe box, the rest was mush and bloodshot. Great elk load for close...

I too would like to hear from anyone with experience comparing these two scopes. I am looking into the VX-2 1-4 for a .350 Rem Mag, but would consider being swayed toward the VX-3 1.5-5 via valid arguments. 1.6-4.2 is Leupold's listed 'actual' magnification for the VX-2 and it's 1.5-4.5 on the...

The black oxide "Lubalox" coating is marketed by Winchester to be an anti-fouling coating that, unlike moly, doesn't coat the barrel. That and the color of the tips is the only difference.

Think your way out into the field. Does the deer/elk/caribou/etc care about the bc? How much difference is it really going to make on paper, let alone in the field? Besides, if you are going to load up your mag with the sp's in your 300 and fire off 4 shots, by the time you get to the 3rd and...

"The protected point is made for magazines like the 300 Win Mag. Same bullet, just one has a blunt nose." -Nosler I like the pp because those noses get squished and/or bent over anyway. This is like a preventative measure, like you said it is likely to happen on the way down the barrel anyhow.

I agree. The 300 is a light bullet for 450 velocity loads.

"Words from a wise mans mouth are gracious, but a fool is consumed by his own lips."

There would in fact be a considerable cost increase. If you were to gauge this by the cost difference of the BT versus the Accubond, we are looking at 35%-65% cost increase on the box of bullets with the larger calibers having a higher percentage rise. Now that isn't much if we are looking at...

It is a very hard bullet. My dad loads them in his 45-70 Marlin 1895 as 'mean-n-nasty' elk loads. They run hot and fast and perform like you'd expect a partition to. I don't know why you would even have one running below the 1700fps level in a Marlin. I know that the .44 bullet of the same...

I have a 10fp with the 24" bull, it shoots .5moa with 55gr BT's. I purchased it before the accutrigger and put in a timney. I have been overjoyed with the performance of the action and the 24" with the 1-9 twist. I wouldn't want the 26" with the performance I get from the 24".

If I were marketing the Nosler products I would most likely encourage you to look at the CT category of bullets that they offer. With the Partition Gold and the Fail Safe lines those pretty much close the gap between Partition and let's say what Barnes offeres in their X line. If you look at...

Sounds wonderful. I hope he has a great first deer hunt experience. Congrats on your antelope draws. I missed out on antelope this year but Paulina Unit buck deer and fall bear are on the calendar here for me in OR.

My pet load in my 30-06 is 57.0gr H4831. It is a 30 year old Remington with a 22" barrel that shoots sub-moa all day long with that load.

I was not going to reply as I am not overly experience with black bear but here goes. I hunt in territory where the black bears tend on the smaller side, however, my Southern Oregon trophy field dressed at 380 lbs and measured right at 7'. At the time I was sporting a .30-06 with 165 Partition...
