A friend of mine gave me 3 boxes of old Nosler Partition bullets, 130 grain .270 Winchester. I’ve reloaded 20 of them working up a load and just reloaded another 20 with 58 grains of H4831 SC, the best load from my testing.
Just wondering if anyone that had used these before had any suggestions on using these bullets. The surface of the bullets seem rougher than the gliding metal on the newer bullets. I’ve been shooting them in a Weatherby Mk V lightweight synthetic (yes, it’s a 270 Winchester not Weatherby). This rifle is sub MOA with 140 grain Hornady SSTs but the best I can get with these bullets is 1 1/4 to 1 1/2. I know that this is plenty good enough to kill a deer but I’m trying to get the best out of it. Right now I’m cleaning the barrel down to bare metal, stripping some remaining copper fouling. I’m wondering if this will help. I don’t know if these bullets are behaving similar to the mono metals following gliding metal bullets. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
