Thanks guys.
I think I give the 160 part's a go soon. I have a few more barnes to work with if they do get put to huntin use.
Life is in the way of getting this fun stuff done so hopefully I can get back onto it soon.
Isnt it funny bob. Victorians will jump at the chance for a red deer and...
Well here are some pics. I'm a sh!t photographer. It looks like any other Patriot. I hope I upload them right.
I think your on the money with the Partitions. I have seen some 160's for sale so I reckon I can get them easily enough.

Accubonds...yes they have been a consideration but if...

I have started reloading a M48 Patriot in .270Win.
At the moment I am working with these components;
Powder: H4831
Brass: Winchester
Primers: Federal Gold
Projectile: Barnes 150 TSX-FB & Hornady 150 SST
The rifle seems to handle pressure very well, a touch over book max is...
Hi guys,
I'm based in Australia, Nosler rifles are pretty rare down here and I am the proud owner of one.
I am very happy with the quality of the rifle except for the glass bedding, to my eye it is not a thorough bedding job and resembles a hot glue bed.
Depending on how my reloading goes, I...
