[QUOTE="drakehammer, post: 1719677, member: 57010"] Whatever it takes to increase accuracy and BC of the Partition. Luckily some of those things accomplish both goals. Whoever mentioned it though, I don't think a really good boat-tail Nosler Partition would be possible as the jacket is made today. Accuracy problems associated with base deformation wouldn't be much different than they are today. But what do I know...maybe load a NPT backwards and see what you get??? Regarding the second part of your post, my family killed 6 really good whitetails this past season with 168 Berger Classic Hunters out of one 7mm08. Anchored the largest one with a steeply quartering away shot, four of them made it 35-50 yards and piled up with large behind the shoulder exit wounds, one made it about 100 yards after slipping one head-on between the chest and passenger side shoulder out behind the off side shoulder. All distances were ~85 yards. Massive damage in every scenario. Expected more DRTs though. Concluded that a bigger fuel tank to get more velocity might have created the hydrostatic shock I was looking for. IDK though. Experiment complete. Saw nothing but DRTs with 120 NBTs on five or six different animals out of the same rifle at that range. [/QUOTE]
