They pretty much shoot the same speed and accuracy as the 250 Partition out of my Whelen. I’ve only used them on Black Bear, as I used the Partition on my African hunt. But I wouldn't hesitate to use them on much of anything.
Vince, good for you on making the big move. I’ve lived south of Seattle for over 30 years now. The population and politics are going to be what drives me out of here in the next year and a half when I retire. But it does have some beautiful mountain scenery and the summers are pretty...
I had a tip come out of a 180 AB I had loaded in my .300 WSM a few years ago. I was curious to see how accuracy was affected so I shot it at 200 yards. It hit within 2 inches if my aiming point, which I didn’t think was bad. Not sure what I was expecting but I found that interesting.
I think somebody nailed it, Jack O’Connor wrote extensively about it and the majority of outdoorsman took their cues from the writers of the magazines. Not unlike the internet today. I have never owned a .270 and at this point in my life, unless I won one, I probably never will. But if...
Guy, you should definitely make this the only rifle you hunt with this year. Pretty neat to have a rifle in your family for that many years. I have some of my Grandad’s guns but he never held on to anything from that time in his life other than a few knives. He would often talk about the...
It’s been awhile since I’ve ordered anything from SPS but I’ve never had any complaints. Actually the opposite. They really went out of their way once for me. I was placing an order because they finally had some .35 cal 250 Partitions in stock. Problem was I was headed out of town for a...
He retired over a year ago and now lives in Eastern Wyoming near the Black Hills. Hikes up a canyon everyday to shoot a couple of steel plates out to about 800 yards, has a sandwich and hikes back home. He’s living the life!!!
Holy smokes Guy! Glad you’re on the mend but dang, I need you to stick around long enough to congratulate me when I retire!!! Please take care of yourself and if you feel bad again, turn around sooner!!
I would say 165 BT or AB, whichever shoots best. Gives you a bit of heft for penetration and at .308 speeds should have good terminal performance out to any reasonable distance.
