[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1281169, member: 63138"] So somebody died and I ended up with an almost full box of 270 cal 160 grain partitions. This is an old box. The price on the box (for 50 bullets) is faded but it says $12.29. I happen to have a 270 WSM so one day I loaded up 4 of them using the mid load in Noslers handbook of 58 grains H4831SC. I fire the 4 rounds and from 200 yards they landed in a 1.094" group. That I thought was a pretty good group for just throwing a load together. It jogged my memory of someone who bought a box of 7mm factory ammo just for the brass. He pulled the 140 grain partitions and gave them to me. I remember that they shot pretty good too. I looked up the target in my 7mm WSM file. Four of those landed in 0.750" from 100 yards. Again with H4831SC and with zero load development. As I recall I thought they were good enough to shoot a grid/box test to test out the scope I had on the rifle at the time. Turns out the box was basically perfect which means so were the bullets (and the scope). They all went exactly where they should have. So are you starting to get the picture? These partitions are some accurate bullets. Imagine what they could do with some load development? Of course the BCs suck so they don't get much love around here but I'm starting to have a hard time ignoring them. So I'm curious. Is anyone out there using partitions? What kind of accuracy are you seeing? [/QUOTE]
