Older .264 Partition Bullets

[rlpelton]

A neighbor gave me a box of older patition bullets that have a cannelure or crimping groove which the newer bullets do not have. Do I have to make any adjustments in reloading these older bullets from what I use for the newer ones. Thanks.

Other than the fact it is a different production run and you need to verify pressure and zero through working up from a safe minimum (just as you would with any change entailing a new production lot), these older Partitions will work just like the newer Partitions.

...depends...

...yeah, those come w/ age, too. As I get older, I find I need to make lots of adjustments. If those Noslers are "real old" they're probably gonna be "real slow"... :mrgreen:

Very good, Gene. Almost an instant classic. :grin:

Look at those prices! :shock: Were bullets ever really that cheap? And to think, I complained that they were pricey at that time. :mrgreen:

 

[FOTIS]

Yup I can only imagine prices like that~

Same here, I think 15.00 for PT's is cheap.. Dirt cheap!

The question is? Who remembers reloading Zipedo's? I do for my .22-250, do you?

Age? We measure your age in bullet editions......... It is easier, out of toes and fingers.

Well, there you go, giving up all the secrets without a fight. :mrgreen:

I have some .284 Hornady spire points from before 'secant ogive' was in their vocabulary. They were good at the time! So was I :lol:
