What kind of terminal performance differences would there be between your 240 gr. 44 magnum JSP and JHP bullets at rifle velocities if any? I am kinda torn between the standard and Partition bullets in my Ruger 77/44 for deer hunting. I took two deer with Remington bulk pack 240 gr jhp's over...
I'm with George on this one. I would exhaust oall other possible options before a rebarrel. It is rare indeed to shoot out a non magnum hunting rifle barrel in a lifetime of normal use. Remove the barrel from the stock and reassemble. Clean the barrel with a high quality copper fouling...
A while back I had a Rem 7600 35 Whelen. It sure liked the Federal Premium 225 Trophy Bonded Bear Claw factory load. It was a devastating penetrator. I hunted bear with it, but never saw a shooter. I did however shoot a blacktail with it. The animal (125lb est.) was standing facing me at a...
Does anyone have any hunting experiences with Partitions in 44 magnum rifle and 45-70? I have always found favor with Partitions in more traditional calibers, but for whatever reason, have not taken advantage of them in my 44 Mag (Ruger 77/44 rifle) and 45-70 Guide Gun. I have the cross...
Great call Nosler. If you engineer your brass with the same precison and excercise the same level of quality control that you do with your bullets, shooters everywhere will rejoice.
I hope I'm not pushing too much in asking, but is your strategy to start with the most popular chamberings then...
Interesting thread developing here. Looks like people are willing to pay for the "unabridged" Nosler Reloading manual. Offer it in two versions. I'm cheap, I wait for the new manuals to come out and buy the old ones on clearance.
I have noticed that Nosler has pulled the throttles back on...
If you get acceptable hunting accuracy with the partitions and have for all these years, then why change? I really think confidence counts. I have absolute confidence in the partition. I handload 20-40 rounds a year of Ballistic Silver Tip for a friend who lets me hunt his land. I put them...
Let my first post on this site be a ringing endorsement of partitions for that application. I have been experimenting with various bullets in my handloads. I have decided this year to load nothing but the partition in my 30-06, 45-70 and 44 magnum. Still working on the 6mm. I have never...
