The .270 Winchester’s reputation was build upon soft, lazily constructed cup and cores from an era where bonded was still a corporate word that had nothing to do with bullets, launched with relatively unimpressive SD and high speed. It’s one of the most cited cartridges amongst guides as resulting in the least walking, and reduction of nasty recoveries, including our own WhyNot?. The Partition just adds reliability to that recipe, a quickly disrupting, soft bullet with the added benefit of a backup plan. I personally couldn’t distinguish the Partition from the Accubond in field performance, and many clients packed Accubonds.
I remain a mono user, due to my concerns about lead in meat. But I can’t deny the effect of a good Nosler at speed. I sometimes get interested in the thought of trying to make a mono on the lathe for experimenting Walter Hog style that disrupts much more quickly, and fragments more flexibly than the shattering of CEBs. Maybe one quiet winter.
Happy experimenting! Hope it works out!! Would love to hear more about it though!
My philosophy has so far been like yours. Drive a 100-110gr mono as fast as you want to and get it done. Although I don't mind the heavier but softer ones either, like an LRX.
I was thinking the same!
Hard to imagine a plain jane bullet in the same place doesn't lay them out just like that eh?
