Nothing like finding a "bolt of lightning" to hunt with. Partition bullets are great bullets for sure. I've used a great many down through the years. However, I rarely use them anymore. For my hunting area I just don't need a bullet like that.
That "over run" ad also says this
Note: These bullets were made to OEM ammo manufacturer specifications and may or may not include a cannelure.
While they don't offer a 7mm 160 gr E-Tip to the reloading crowd it looks like they could have made some for another ammo manufacturer.
@JMRhino That's a great group with that 120 gr BT. I also noticed your SD and ES numbers. My load numbers were like that as well, however I really don't get caught up in things like that, especially when accuracy is where it should be.
Another thing, I noticed your charge weight was 50.5 grs...
I used the 150 gr Ballistic Tip, seated to 2.760 with the Big Game powder. I also have a great load with the 140 Sierra non-tipped Gameking using IMR 4895 or Varget
Yes indeed, however, 4895 may not give the best velocity in any cartridge but where Ive tried it velocity is very respectable and accuracy is generally outstanding. Whether H or IMR, 4895 is a wonderful powder that simply shines in many cartridges. IMO, Im not sure there's a better all around...
Ive used Big Game before in my 7 08 and had decent results but nothing to get excited over. I decided to try it again with a 150 gr Ballistic Tip. I loaded up a charge weight of 46.5 grs, (safe in my rifle) and seated that 150 gr BT to 2.820. I set my Chrono up and shot several groups at 100...
Mr. Brooks and Fred Barnes were the John Nosler of copper bullets.
No matter how great the man, or what they've accomplished death is a universal reality for all humanity and according to Hebrews 9 "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment"
6 pages of mostly 1st hand experience with the bullets in question! Pick one, work up a load, sight rifle in and go kill stuff. It's as simple as that!! Good luck!
