Do any of you Fudds still use Nosler Partitions?

^Yeah.......thanks a ton load for your support. More division is needed here. :rolleyes:

PS: In retrospect I could say something very negative about someone else with thier pair of nicely tricked out Ruger 10-22s.
But that is not my style to make a snide off-color remark, and then just cut and run.
Perhaps just some new additions to the ignore list is the best idea for myself.

Cheers!

Brutus... you wouldn't happen to be a moderator would you?
 
How is calling a water tower a gong in jest prohibited in rule 5? It was the most harmless sarcasm, especially for this site. This is just pathetic, unless I'm missing something here.

Back to Fudd cup & core bullets for you, which is exactly the opposite of what the bullet makers want us to do. Unless your shooting a very high velocity cartridge, why bother with a NP or TSX/TTSX for deer?

It's just that I've found C&C bullets work just fine for me. I'm not hurting monetarily, I can afford to shoot whatever I want. I'm just not convinced "premium" is better. For me, the possibility of having a rare occurrence where I may have to take a shot that is less than ideal for a standard bullet is equally offset by the possibility that a premium bullet may not perform as well on life's simpler shots, even on larger animals. Ever hear of a C&C bullet "pencilling"? I'd rather a bit of blood shot meat than having to pack the meat further than I need to. I use enough gun, an accurate load, and place my shots to the best of my ability. So far this has worked well in negating the need for premium bullets.

The NP isn't really even a premium bullet by today's standards anyway. Sure, half the bullet will travel the length of a moose shot in the butt (if you must take that shot) but the other half spreads deadly lead from nose to tail.;)

:D
 
If anyone who uses Nosler Partitions is a Fudd, then I can only assume anyone using modern mono metal bullets must be a Mall Ninja. Generalizations are stupid, even if they are supposed to be a joke - they're just stupid jokes.

Nosler Partitions work. Sometimes they have shot very well for me too. Mostly now I'm using Accubonds, but Partitions have been the bullet to which I compare other bullet performance, for the last 40 years. I have never had one do anything I didn't expect. THAT is the most important quality in a hunting bullet.
 
I don't cosider myself a "fudd", but come to think of it I haven't used Partitions in several years. I've taken a lot of game with them, but found good old C&C bullets just fine for deer especially. A couple of years ago I tried Barne's Triple X's for the first time and killed a big 6X6 elk the first day out. Almost to many choices on the market these days. I find good old Hornady Interlock's work well in my rifle's. If they ever ban lead core bullets it's nice to know Triple X's work well also.

Absolutely right, before I was given a '56 Husky in 30.06 and I had it glass bedded into a new stock, to be my super accurate moose/elk rifle, I used my .270 Win for everything. To be consistent and have a bullet that works well on all game, I went with 150 grain Nosler Partitions. Not one moose or elk got more than a few steps after being hit by one of those NP's. They work.

You are sure right on that one!
150 grain NP in front of 58 grains of H4831 in a 270. I shot an elk, tight behind the shoulder and angling back. Bang flop and the bullet caught on the far hide.
I also found that at 500 yards there was no more than two inches difference in drop between it and a good 130 grain bullet, if each was sighted 3 inches high at 100.
32 and 34 inches of drop at 500, if anyone is interested.
But then of course, I have been referred to as the super fudd!
 
I never could, or maybe didn't spend the time, to get them to shoot as accurate as I like in the rifles I have and have owned. I really like the AccuBond for accuracy and on game performance, I still have some 200gr 30cals so may give them another go for chits and giggles.
