Why doesn't Nosler list reloads with a 7x57 using Hogdon 4350and the 150 Partition? It's a popular powder for this cartridge. do you have suggestions? thanks capt david
I have a Mauser 98 in 6.5x55. I would like some info on loading it using the 125 and 140 Partition with H4350 and Varget as these are not listed in my Nosler manual. A begining load and Max load with pressure or fps would be appreciated. I also have a Mauser 98 in 7x57. I would like the same...
I'm sorry to ask so many questions, but I want to know before I buy. I'm begining to reload for a FN Mauser with a long throat. I use the 'smokey bullet method.' If one uses the 'bullet diamater' as a guide to how much bullet should be in the neck, how long (OAL) can a 140 and 150 Partition be...
Is the jacket thickness the same in a 165, 180 and 200gn Partition .308 caliber?
Same question for .284 caliber in 140, 150 and 160?
thanks, capt david :?: :grin: :?:
Do all Partitions have canelures? In 308 caliber 165gn and 200gn what is the distance from the front of the canalure to the tip? Also, what is the same distance in 284 caliber with 140, 150 and 160gns? thanks capt david :?: :grin: :?:
I prefer a bullet that is a little soft to one that is a little hard. I'm of the old school of the energy that is expended on the other side of the animal is waisted. I also will not take extreme raking or Texas heart shots at un-wounded animals. I used 150 BTs in my '06 when they first came...
Other than lubaloy, is there any difference between the BTs and SBTs? Why do the .308 BTs weigh 165gn and the SBTs weigh 167? thanks, capt david :lol: :lol: :lol:
In reading most message boards, people state that the BTs have been changed (tweaked) many times since there introduction. I would like to know, how the .308 caliber 150 grain has been changed, if at all, since the early '90s. Thanks, capt david :lol: :lol: :lol:
Most of the hunting I do is for 100-150lb deer and 200lb or less meat pigs. I use a 150gn non-premium competitors bullet. I use a 308. I have been invited to go hunting where, they say, there is a chance to shoot a 500lb pig. I am considering loading a 200gn partition to about 2350fps. Will this...
I use the 165-168 loaded at 2750fps (chrony'ed).On brosdside shots and quartering shots it will pass through. Ive never shot through more than about 18" of deer and all these shots are under 200yds. I think they are perfect for deer and hogs up to 250lbs or so. capt david :grin: :grin: :grin:
