Updated Partition bullet

[Terrapin]

It’s rainy, foggy & and generally miserable out today…. If I knew I was going to be walking out my door and shooting a bull elk at sub-200 yards, I’d be hard pressed not to grab my controlled round feed, stainless steel 30-06 with an old school 3-9, shooting 180 gr Nosler Partitions. Some stuff just works.

Every elk, deer and bear I’ve shot with 180 gr partitions has died in a very predictable way. I’d also guess I’ve shot several hundred coyotes with the 95 gr 6mm partition. Dime size entrance, quarter sized exit & jello inside… consistent kills & still able to get best dollar for my hides.

The downside to that bullet is they are not particularly accurate, they are expensive & they have a very mediocre ballistic coefficient… all caused by the very non-standard manufacturing process. The complexity and opportunities for inaccuracy of making the double cup and cores (top and bottom), the variable thickness of the copper, the two lead cores. There is no way they are making those economically. I also doubt they could achieve an extremely sleek profile due to the forces required to make that bullet.

I bet they are still using some of the tooling from 1948 on that production line

means that this wound channel diagnosis is once again a huge waste of time, as the channel cannot be greater than the exit.

Imagine posting this; and then arguing with anyone, about anything.

Yawn.........24HCF says the same thing about you and your heroics over there.

I will concede though, as that was a stupid analogy on my part, something I've never seen you admit on any forum BTW. Nevertheless, I'll stand by the rest of my thoughts on the subject.
