Long ago, like 30 years ago, when I first tried Nosler Partitions, I wasn't too keen on the accuracy I observed. Had no doubt that they were great game bullets, I just wanted tighter groups. Time to time though I used 'em again for their terrific on-game performance.

Recently I've noticed real nice accuracy from them as well... Last fall an old beat-up 6mm Rem delivered 1 MOA accuracy at 300 yards with 100 gr Nosler Partitions.

Just today I was back at the range with my .308, and this time it was 165 gr Partitions that were well under MOA at 300 yards. This is a match grade rifle, but wow...
 
I too get excellent accuracy with PT's in all my rifles and have shot sub MOA out to 300 yds. Here is a pic of a group from my M700LSS in 338 RUM and the 250 gr PT.

Two 3 shot groups shot back to back with my 1895M .450 Marlin, V3 weaver. The groups will overlay. I shot these groups before I sent Rev Buck the ammo he killed the monster bear with and this same batch of ammo a few weeks later in my gun killed two more huge black bears. The hunter that carried my gun called me from the range while he and his buddies were shooting it. He said "The first group I shot with it was 3/4"!!!, I had no ideal that little gun shot like that!!!!!!!!". The nosler is the bullet in that gun. reflex264
