My son and I went out to the farm today to conduct some milk jug tests with my Tikka 7 mag. We first tested a 150 gr Partition with 64 gr IMR 4831 going 2967 fps. Bullet was caught in the 6th jug with 70% weight retention and good mushroom.
The 175 gr win powerpoint factory load surprised me by going 2910 fps. The bullet was recovered in the 4th jug. The expansion was very impressive, the recovered bullet measured .721 inches in diameter. The weight retention was 65%.
For what it is worth I am very happy with the performance of the Partition. I plan to load these bullets for deer this upcoming season.
