I am indebted to John Nosler

[bullet]

In 1947 John made a bullet called the Partition and in 1948 the year I was born, he put the Partition on the market. It has been my go to bullet off and on for all these years and I have dropped a lot of game with the Partition. I am indebted to John for making and marketing the Partition, which saved my life once when I was charged. What a bullet, but what a man John Nosler was and a very nice and good person. It is a very personal thing to me that a bullet was put on the market the year I was born and that very bullet saved my life. Thank you John Nosler for all you did for the shooting world and how you have personally impacted my life in a special way. Affectionately, bullet

Bullet I don't know if you caught a piece I wrote but picture this. They lengthen the action of the Nosler Model 48 so it can handle the 300 H&H, the cartridge that started us down this road. The first batch will be made with something stamped on the side of the reciever or barrel. I don't think John would want something over-the-top, maybe just something like this: JOHN NOSLER LIMITED EDITION MODEL 48 1915-2010 300 H&H magnum. The first special batch would also have special serial numbers. I'm not sure what year John was born, but it was around 1915 I believe. The very first rifle to be kept for the Nosler museum would be serial number 1915. The next one would wear 1916 and so-on until the tragic year of his passing in 2010. For his children, grandchildren, and maybe a very close friend or two, the Nosler rifle with his or her date of birth stamped on it such as mine would be 1960. That rifle WOULD NOT BE SOLD, and would go to that family member. Any other remaining limited edition models would be sold on first come first serve basis until the 95 rifles were all gone. Then the 500 custom models or regular addition Model 48's would be turned out and serial numbered in the way that the usual rifles are numbered.

I think it would be fitting if the rifle had a 26" barrel as I think I am correct in stating that when Winchester and others first chambered for the300 H&H, and for many years after that they all had 26" barrels. Of course it would be only fitting to have the first load if only one, load being with the 180 gr. Partition!! One box of the special stuff to go with the limited addtition rifle, and then of course some more loadings later on. The limited edition would have a special box and maybe a short tribute to this great man and a photo of him on the back of the box. How about a copy of the picture of him with the first moose/animal shot with the new Nosler Partition. 8) I would pitty the poor fool who EVER shot those specially loaded rounds. I am sure that some folks especially close friends and family might not ever shoot the rifles and just keep it for sentimental reasons. John think would want them to be hunted with though and not just gracing a gun safe someplace or hanging over a mantel. I bet the folks at Leupold would come up with something special in the way of a scope for such a rifle. What power of scope he used on his first 300 I not know, or for that matter, I cannot remember reading if his rifle had a scope on it or not,but I think a scope, especially today would befitting. My own thoughts on keeping it something simple would be a classic fixed 4 power or a fixed 6 power. If it were to be a variable, how about a 2.5x8x36!!! How does this sound to the rest of you folks? :idea: :idea: :grin:

Meant to say year of birth and not date of birth. Sorry but you get the idea.

YOU ARE ENABLING ME AGAIN!!!! It all sound to cool and WOW!!!! I would be back on the wagon. All I have got to say, What a man John was in many respects. I always liked him and have always liked the Partition and the 300 H&H would be the ticket. I like it, but that is just me. I will say it again, 6mmRem you have me in that other thinking mood today (RADD), I need to check my thinking. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Mike, my father and I have used the PT long before we knew any history about them. I used 140's in my 7RM and my pops has used the 180gr in his 30-06. He killed just about everything with them. They are my favorite bullet. Always accurate and dependable. I am slowly working on converting most all my calibers over to PT's.

6mm, I have no need whatsoever for a 300 Mag, as I already have a 300 Win Mag, but if Win did put their TGR out in 300 H&H, I would certainly save my money from my next deployment for one of them. I think the H&H is a pretty awesome looking round. With todays powders, I don't think it leaves anything to be desired. I have always wanted an M70 in the H&H but if Nosler chambered one, that would nice! Scotty

Scotty, I am at the moment converting my loads over to Partitions for my 300Win. Mag using the 180, 200 and 220gr Partition and for my 358Win using the 225gr Partition. This will take a month are so as I need to tweak my loads to shoot the Partition accurately but I do not expect any problems with either cartridge in getting the Partition to preform.

Same here, I have 200gr PT's for my 300WM, 250's for the 338, 100's for the 243, 150's for the 270WSM, 225's for the 358 Win, and 300's for my 45-70. The few that I am lacking are 250gr .358's for my 35 Whelen and some 175's for my 7mm Rem Mag. I will get it all there shortly. Really no really big reason to switch up, but I figure it isn't going to hurt anything, and I like them. Scotty

The reason you are switching is the reason I am. They won't fail you, they are deadly, and most of all they are terminally consistent in the field. There is nothing like that initial expansion with the non bonded tip and then to know the back 2/3s of the bullet will hold together and most of the time pass on through letting air in and blood out. The initial shock followed with a great cavitating wound that is created by the back part of the Partition, plus it exiting is a combination that will kill what ever we are going to hunt. One has to see the results over and over again in the field to appreciate the Partition and to know that John Nosler got it right when it comes to a bullet that performs so terminally well.

I couldn't agree more Mike. I expect them to do my work. Plus, in all reality, they have good BC's, so it isn't like you are shooting a brick either. Most all the ones I am using have pretty good shape and do well for me out to 400. Its funny how I have kinda came back around to them. When I was younger, I used them for everything, and other bullets came and went, but now, they are still my number one choice when I am spending some money to hunt. Scotty

I understand coming back to them. I have tried so many other bullets at the range and in the field and I am back with the Partition.

His design is the benchmark that ALL premiums are measured against.

Amen to that!!!! I have taken and seen taken over 150 head of big game with the Partition. They work right every time.

John Nosler is the perfect example of how a person with a good idea, hard work, honesty and integraty can become such a sucess. The American dream (including our Canadian bretheren) personified. I hope business schools are using this man in their case studies.

I can only repeat what has already been said about Partition Bullets. I litterly trust them with my life; the only bear repellant I pack. I know beyond a doubt that if I keep my head I can stop the meanist, nastiest, griz hell bent on having me for lunch with a single 180 grain Partition from my 06. What more can I say.

My partitions, 100 grain .243 win., 150 grain 270 win., 150 grain 280 Rem, 180 grain 30-06. Very close to 100 head of critters with partitions including all but one of my 15 elk. He will be missed but never forgotten.

Murph, that is a good testament to the ability and confidence in them if I have ever heard one. Seems like you hear folks who cannot get PT's to shoot sometimes, but man, just about every rifle I have ever shot them through has been an 1" shooter or better. I know there are some that probably just don't like them, but I am glad none of mine have been to picky as to reject the might Partition. Kind of excited to see how they shoot out of the 25-06. I have some 120's and wanna grab some 115's. Seems like the 115gr PT is about a match made in heaven for the 25-06. All this talk is really making me want to shoot! Scotty
