Accurate Arms MagPro powder and Partition Gold bullets

Zaroj · Sep 27, 2006

Hi guys! I just started reloading this summer. I was tutored by a very experienced reloader but have recently moved and don't communicate quite as much as I would like. I bought a bunch of the CT Moly-free Partition gold bullets from MidwayUSA sales last spring. I bought 7mm-160gr and .270-150gr bullets. I am working on a budget as I just started back to college this fall. I have 2 lbs of MagPro and am loading for my 7mm WSM and my brothers .270 WSM. I can't seem to find data for using MagPro powders with either of these bullets. While being tutored I read the latest Nosler manual and remember it mentioning that you can't load the Partition gold bullets to the same specs as the Partition bullets. My concern is using max load data and running into problems! Could someone help me to find some data or give suggestions on how to load these Partition Gold bullets with MagPro. I have had great performance from MagPro with my regular 145gr. speer bullets and wish to continue using the MagPro with the Partition Gold bullets for hunting Mule Deer and Elk.

Thanks for your help,
Zaroj

I can't help you with MagPro powder information, but I can tell you that loading 150 CT molly-free partitions is the same as Nosler partitions. Just don't use a load developed for molly coated bullets on non-coated bullets. As always, reduce the charge to start and work up. You did try to look online, didn't you? If not here is AA's ONLINE reloading information:

Did you try a search for the information your looking for?

Here is an additional link to other Accurate Powder data, as well:

I believe much of the data are the same, but there are some extra data in either place. As for the Partition Gold, as long as they are moly-free, they should be workable with the standard Nosler data, with the standard caution that applies to all loading - Start with the starting load charge, and work up until pressure signs indicate you should stop, or until you reach the maximum published charge for that cartridge/bullet combination. If you follow these guidelines, you should be fine. There are lots of data online, from all the major powder manufacturers and some other sites. Be cautious with data posted by individuals online. No matter what you read, there are people out there who are not safe with their loading. Use common sense and work up from about 10% below max charge and you should be fine. If you need help interpreting pressure signs, I bet the gang here (or at many other boards, as well) will answer your questions without hesitation. Where are you attending college? Maybe someone on here is close enough to you that you could get together and load and shoot some.
