Have over 500 125 gr. Partitions and want to load my 6.5 Rem mag with them but I can't find any data in Nosler's manuals. Looking for min / max loads using H4350, IMR4350, or H4831.
I'm a new guy to this forum looking for help.
Thanks
Cazador the only load data for the 125gr Partition was in Ken Waters's Pet Loads.The two loads were:
IMR 4064 45 grains CCI 200 primer R-P cases 2730fps called this a timber load.
IMR 4350 55 grains CCI 250 primer R-P cases 2985fps called this an excellent multi purpose load.
Hodgdon listed several loads for the 6.5 Rem. Mag but none were for the 125 Partition.
Hodgdon's web site Hodgdon.com . IMR's web imrpowders.com.
Hope this was a little bit of help.

Accurate has data for the 129 Hornady here: http://www.accuratepowder.com/loaddata_ ... 264cal.htm
It can be used as a guide for load development - with care. I believe that Hodgdon's 2004 load suppliment may have data for this bullet, I can't remember and the magazine is not here.
6.5 Rem Mag case capacity is very similar to 6.5-06. Starting loads for the 6.5-06 should be safe as would 6.5-284 loads. I had a 6.5-06 at one time and I could fill the case to the neck with H4831 for 125 NP. I never experienced any signs of excess pressure and it was a deer slayer. I would not start with a full case in a 6.5 Rem Mag, but I would be surprised if it is not full by the time you are finished.
