[QUOTE="Nimrodmar10, post: 1757940, member: 36369"] I've owned a couple of 7-08s over the years. I always shot the Nosler 140 gr. Ballistic Tip, just because they shoot in anything you put them in. But as far as the Nosler Partition, I've tried them in 4 different 7 Mags and I just can't make them shoot great. I really wanted a 7 Mag that would shoot the Nosler 175 gr. Partition for elk, but back in those days no one was making a fast twist 7 mm barrel. The 9 and 9.25 twist barrels just wouldn't stabilize the 175. So I dropped to the 160 gr. Partition and worked on that instead. The end result was that every other 160 gr. bullet shot better than the Partition. I think that something about the H Mantle in the bullet just throws it's balance out of whack. So, if I wanted a bonded core bullet that shoots accurat, I'd try the Accubond or Swift Scirocco or something along those lines. I just wish the Partitions would shoot better, they work great as far as terminal ballistics is concerned [/QUOTE]
