Found this one in the 6th jug also. Unbelievable how tough those bullets are.
Scotty,
I would think in your sons 7 x 57 that will be big medicine. Should be perfect.
When that thing hit those jugs it literally blew the first two into pieces and shot water everywhere. The impact shock these impart is amazing and to hold up after that kind of shock is pretty cool.

Rather classic performance of a classic bullet. That gave the bullet a great opportunity to demonstrate its integrity.

Dan and Dr;
I have a bias but I just don't see how you get a much better all around bullet for my purposes than the Partition. Darn things just always do what they're supposed to do and that is a high compliment for a bullet. Consistency seems to be underrated at times.

A friend of mine has shot mountain goat and moose with them out of a 280 Rem with good success. It would be one of the first bullets I would want to try if I ever get a 280.

Sort of off topic...but how are you liking MRP in the 280 Ackley?
I'm getting excellent results with 150 PTs and RL17 in my sons 7mm Mauser. Chrono'ed them this morning and I'm right at 2900 or. Gotta do the math but I'm very pleased with those numbers. Cases look beautiful and nary a sign of anything resembling excessive pressure.
I also shot some 150 BTs with exactly the same die settings and powder charge. I averaged about 15Fps faster but the same POI at 200. Thankfully I just established a great deer and inexpensive practice load without too much work. Pretty happy about that.
I'm really excited as I haven't shot an elk with aight rifle but I'm banking on shorter under 300 yard shots. I'm thinking a lot of folks run 150's from a 270 factory load and still stack elk.

That is a smoking velocity, Scotty. Yeah, I should imagine it will work very well.

I don't doubt you report; each rifle is an entity to itself. Heck, I'm envious; I just hope I can wring similar velocities out of my 7 Mauser.

Sorry guys.
I didn't see the questions.
It's a CCI 200, Nosler case, 65 gr MRP with the Partition.
I recently changed it slightly to COAL of 3.23. Tightened it up a hair and velocity and SD were slightly more consistent.
RR,
I am starting to really like the MRP. I've run it in the 257 Wby, 7 Mag and 280 AI thus far. All have been good results and it seems very consistent. Standard deviations thus far have been fairly tight.
Unfortunately, the remainder of the testing as far as temperature sensitivity will have to wait until fall as it is warm here now.
