[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 533094, member: 30902"] I can't help you with 165gr loads. The last 06's I loaded were 180's and that was about 25yrs ago. I loaded up a thousand for my dad and he's still shoooting them. The 165's compared to the 180's look pretty terrible when you compare sectional density and ballistic coefficients.

Both the ballistic tips and ballistic silver tips are much better choices ballistically and in terminal performance unless you are trying to shoot through the shield of a big boar, kill a big bear, or put one through the shoulders of an Elk at 800yds. The lower bc's and sd's of the 165's as compared to the 180's across the board just mean that you're going to have a harder time getting any precision at long range and with the Partition, you are adding an additional variable because the flat based bullets just don't stabilize as well as the boat tails and thus will tend to produce more erratic groups.
