.307 Win. loads for the 170Gr. RN Partition

[rodhuston]

I recently accuired a Win 94 "Big bore" angle eject chambered for the 307 Win. I know I can load spitzers in it if I only put, one in the chamber, and one, in the magazine. I would like to hear of anyone experiences with the 170 GR RN Partition on game and any load data, as the current Nosler Manual does not include this round.

We don't have any load data for the .307 WIN but there is some in Ken Waters "Pet Loads". I also checked Hodgdon's website and they also have load data, and though they have 170gr load it's not for the 30-170gr Partition.

I hope that helps.

I appreciate the response. I will check those references. I still hope to get some feedback on the use of the 170 Gr. RN Partion on game, with the 307 Win. I know it wasn't very popular, but for an old lever gun hand like my self, I think it should have some potential.

Well, I load that bullet in a .300 Savage and using RL-15, it spits them out @ 2600 FPS.

I use the rifle for Wisconsin Whitetail Deer. Just performs GREAT!
I know it will drop a Bear dead.

The bullet expands very rapidly into a mushroom about the size of a thumbnail, being driven and intact by the base of the bullet. I have never lost a Deer using this load. Have made shots @ 150 yards, to 20 ft. The bullet just performs in the .300 Savage which would not be too different in performance than the .307.

Try it, I think you to will find it to be a winner!

Regards,

I appreciate your response. I am glad to hear that the bullet performs well, at 300. Savage speeds. I am sure they will be close to 307 Win out of my mod. 94 carbine. Thanks again! Good Hunting!
