Just wanted to share my work-up results for the 60gr Partition in a 1:12 twist T/C Venture. I've read in a lot of places that the Partition isn't known for the tight groups and it really shines in hunting. I plan on using this mainly on Predators, P. Dogs, and maybe back up to my 25-06 for Antelope. 100 yards isn't much of grouping indication (to me) and I hope to stretch it out to 500 when the 20 mph winds die down.
The differences in group sizes between primers amazed me. I chose to go with Rem 9 1/2. WLR showed slight pressure signs and had more recoil. Rem's didn't show any p signs and shot amazingly soft... Felt like shooting a light load in the Rem 700 SPS Varmint in .223. I think fouling got the best of shot #5. It was the 25th shot after cleaning and was the last shot in the test. I'm sure my excitement didn't help either.
