I have been really stepping up my reloading program in the last three years and have been doing load development in seven different calibres. I have invested a small fortune in Partitions of every calibre and weight and have been trying desperately to find any acceptable level of accuracy. None found whatsoever.
I know how to develop a load. I have a whole bunch of sub-moa results logged in my database with a multitude of makes and calibres. Everything but Partitions I have had success. It is the only bullet in my stock that I have yet to succeed.
Today I tried my hand for the several hundredth time with a 130 grain Partition in a .270. Absolutely hilarious results…spraying lead in a lovely 4” star. I realized in the last year and a half, in 7 rifles and about a dozen powders I have dumped about $300 worth of Partitions and powder into the back stop and yet to have one successful group. Once,
In a .243 I once got a one inch group. Repeated the load and went back to range to unsuccessfully repeat the result. I have used all the Nosler and Hodgdon data and even tried suggestions from other forums.
I think I am done. I read all the success stories about Partitions and can’t understand why with every other make of bullet I try, I can get those to shoot accurately. This is unfortunate because I sure like the way they perform on game.
Anyone else suffer my plight, or am I unrealistic to expect 1-1.5” as a basic standard?
Cheers
