[QUOTE="358 Guy, post: 2369895, member: 60067"] I've used Nosler Partition bullets in various calibers for 50 yrs. now. Accuracy wise they are not the most accurate bullets that I have ever used. The partition is a complex bullet by design, thus making it more difficult to manufacture which leads to a loss of consistency. I currently use these bullets in 3 calibers: 270, 284 win., and a 300 WEA mag. All but the 284 are basically stock. They are all glass bedded, new triggers, and have been re-crowned. With some load tinkering, all of these rifles will consistently group into .8 or better for 3 shot groups @ 100 yds. I have found that you need to try different seating depths to achieve the best accuracy. In the case of my 300 WEA, ( Remington 700 classic ) the seating depth is 0.030 off the lands, while my 270's sweet spot is at 0.015. These bullets were never designed for extreme long range shooting, but within their range, they are one of the most reliable bullets available for humanely taking big game. Good luck, and good hunting! [/QUOTE]
