Do any of you Fudds still use Nosler Partitions?

You need to quit using derogatory terms for fellow shooters. And if Nosler bullets sit on shelves, it's due to the excessive price, not who uses 'em.

You need to stop posting incorrect and often dangerous misinformation on gunnutz, and people have been telling you this for years- but you still do it.
 
i have hunted for many years with noz partitions. i also like scirrocos, ab, tsx, gmx and interbonds. all of them work well and don't really work better than partitions.

Remington
Remington® Premier® Scirocco™ Bonded Ammunition
Swift™ Scirocco Bonded bullets have a progressively tapered copper jacket that is locked to a lead core with proven Swift bonding technology for controlled expansion and more than 75% weight retention at any velocity, as for the car the Das Auto of the 80's was a pretty neat lil car. Could go fast and corner faster.
Watched one make a hard right hand turn and the inside wheel lifted right off the ground... it was a design of the time iirc.
Obviously they didnt last nor where they everyones cuppa tea...just like ammo choices.
As for the derogatory comments from members one only has to consider the source especially when they are using wifi drinking at the local hotel to read and post on the internet.
Best Regards,

I've shot lots of game with the partition, and still have a few boxes around in various calibers. They have never let me down, that's for sure.

Honestly though, like all premium bullets, I generally don't think they are worth the price unless a person is basically going out undergunned, in which case I would lean towards a TTSX anyways.

Then there was our own CIL, Dominion brand Copper Point expanding, which they loaded into their factory loads, as well as selling the bullets to hand loaders. I shot quite a few moose with those also and I have often said that I thought they were better than the much heralded Nosler partition. My thoughts on this were reinforced when, many years later I read the books of Jack Beaudrau, such as Crazy Man's Creek and Grizzly Bear Mountain. He lived in great grizzly country out Sinclair Mills way and has probably shot more grizzly bears than any other person alive today. He stated in his grizzly book that he used a 30-06 and Dominion factory loaded 180 grain Copper Point Expanding bullets, exclusively. He stated he didn't think there was a better bullet made.
In 1975, Jack O'Connor wrote a lengthy article in Outdoor Life, on the fiftieth anniversary of the 270 calibre rifle. I have the magazine and here is a copy of a bit of the article.

My father met Jack Boudreau in the 1970's out near McBride. I know some of the family members - they are very nice, down to earth folks.

The one thing I believe you fail to account for is evolution. And I am not talking about the evolution of marketing, I mean the evolution of game. They are just so tough today. :)

By the way, I have an old box of .30-06 180gr KKSP and ran a few of them over the Oelher 35P last fall. This is the ammo that many folks used for deer, moose, bear and elk. They averaged right on 2400fps out of a 22" barrel.

Humm introduced in 1948 and still being used and talked about today
Lets see that happen with any of the new stuff out in fact lets see if any are still around in 20 years let alone 66 years
As many still say Nosler's famous Partition bullet remains the flagship of the Nosler line. It remains the example to which all hunting bullets are compared to and to many even in 2014 is still the best all-around hunting bullet ever made.

I have used them since the 60's and will die using them since they have never let me down
Cheers

Agreed. I've been using Nosler (reloading) since 1982 and never changed except for one hunting season. I once used Barnes TSX, and NEVER again.......a pin hole entrance and exit wound and I almost lost my animal. Never did this happen to me using Nosler bullets. I use all three bullets for hunting, partitions, accubond and ballistic tips with fantastic results.
 
I have about 20 left loaded up for my 300 Winchester Magnum. They've killed moose, elk, deer and black bear.

My friend with whom I loaded them has put his equipment away for good so when I run out I'm going to buy tailor mades.
 
I am not a Fudd, but I still have a couple boxes for reloading my .32 Winchester Special. I use these cartridges in my Winchester 1894 Take-Down. This Lever-Action is still my main Deer Rifle for hunting in mainly treed areas, where 200+ shots are not available. 50 yards tops. These Bullets penetrate very well, and mushroom out really well.
