30-30 partition?

[tjen]

I have not heard much about the 170gr Partition made for the 30-30win. Hows it worked for you and is it a good choice for black bear?

I would think a load using LVR and the 170gr Partition would be tops in the 30-30win.

It has rolled up every black bear my one bud shoots with it.

I'm just waiting for them to go on sale! Hard to get ahold of them. They would be the ultimate big game bullet though.

I have a few friends that use model 94 30-30's. I will try to steer them to the PT. I know federal offers them in ammo. If I could get one of them to start loading for their 30-30 with minimum cost in equipement it just mite turn on their light bulb. Neither shoots much because of the cost but they see reloading as too costly.

While I shoot all the time because I have thur the years have made a investent in reloading equipent that alows me to aford reload thus shooting.

I figure a Lee press, dies, powder scale, tray, and sizing wax along with a RSBS hand primer as the min to strat with. I know they have calipers too.

keep the PT praise coming if you have used them.

Pure poison, those bullets!

Those bullets would also work very well in a 300 Savage, 308 Win or 30-06.

I would love to try them in a 307 Win someday.

While I love my Noslers, I can't imagine a .30-30 stressing a bullet enough that a garden variety Speer, Hornady or Sierra 170 grain wouldn't do the job.

And yes, I do prefer 'frugal' to 'cheap'.

I've been loading up Hornady's FTX with H LVR but am close to out of em. A friend just gave me a bunch more 30-30 brass... the PTs might be a neat option.
