I cannot offer any help specifically with the 150gn Partition. The 150gn Sierra Game King is flat out bang flop death to White tail, as the pictures show. The recovered bullet was on the backside left leg, between the rump and the hide. I was fairly confident I could make the shot since it...

An overly clean barrel and low visibility at long range (and I know that is a relative term) means shot groups can grow easily. Shoot again on a clear day with less cleaning of the barrel.

Good to know. Thanks for the info and the pictures.

Paul: mine is a FN Mexican Mauser with a 24" ER Shaw barrel. Aside from changing the trigger, it is just like it was when the gunsmith put it together. The Boyds laminate stock makes the rifle heavier than I thought it would be but with the accuracy I'm getting it would be dumb to complain.

My 6.5 CM loves the 129gn SST with RL-17. Ditto for the 130gn Swift Scirocco II and the 140gn SST with Superformance. All of them are .5 or 1 grain from a max load, seated to the COL specs of the bullet makers. Maybe I have a rifle that is forgiving in that sense since these are sub-MOA. I...

Here is the 95/100gn Nosler data on the 243 Win. http://www.nosler.com/nosler-load-data/243-winchester/

This is what H-414 did with 130gn Nosler Ballistic Tips in my former 270 Win at 200 yards (off a bipod).

The 6.5-06 world be a fine move up from the 25-06. You wouldn't see that much of a difference between the 6.5-06 and the Ackley version and I agree the work isn't worth the improvement in speed. There are plenty of 120+ grain bullets in 26 caliber that will do well for big game.

Swift makes a 210gn Scirocco II (bonded) bullet that has a higher BC than the Partition and will hold together as it mushrooms since it has an all-copper jacket.

The nickel plated brass is much harder than ordinary brass. The nickel stuff stays cleaner since it is smoother and harder, but it is very tough at the shoulder and neck so expanding those areas is hard. Even running it in a full length resizing die is not quite as easy as ordinary brass. For...

I have my best loads written in pencil on a piece of paper taped to the wall. At one point it was an Excel spreadsheet but writing in the data became easier. 3x5 cards are great for load testing data and chrony readings.

I have the Sporter model. It is possible to shoot the chronograph, called the bayonet, since it is secured near the muzzle with a nylon strap that can lose some tension through recoil. If the strap is loose, the bayonet can be whipped up by the recoil movement.. That is what happened when I...

The only other bullet I've used in my 9.3 is the 286gn Hornady. Both bullets group well and any animal I hit with either bullet is going down if I shoot well. The 286s like 63gn of H-4350 best. I don't have chrony numbers for that load but I'm guessing it is about 2350fps, maybe as high as 2380...

Anyone looking for a go-to load for their 9.3x62mm Mauser doesn't need to go farther than the 270gn Speer Hot Cor and Varget, specifically 58.5 grains of that powder. Chronographed velocities form yesterday's range sessions were 2448, 2437, 2431, 2433, 2452 and 2444 from Magneto Speed. The...

The Interlock was stellar vs a White tail buck at 335yds. The bullet destroyed the L front shoulder joint, then deflected down and and took out the lungs. I'm not sure how much of the bullet came apart but there was a small exit wound. The next buck was a much bigger Mulie hit from a longer...

Using an older chronograph my shot group averaged 3060fps. What was impressive about this group was the tiny amount of space between holes. I was trying NOT to hit the chronograph and the small group was a good thing to see.

That is a great shot group for hunting. Your son will need a good skinning knife to go with that accurate rifle. The 18" barrel is a factor in this accuracy, but so is a steady trigger finger. Well done.

H-4831 is the most accurate powder in my 300 Weatherby. I load it to 81.5gn (Hodgdon max) with 180gn Hornady Interlocks and it is pure death on deer, even at 530 yards.
