#Nosler Partition bullet

[historyofguns]

The article "100 Years of the .270 - The Armory Life" by Wayne van Zwoll explores the enduring popularity and performance of the .270 Winchester cartridge, introduced in 1925 and celebrating its centenary. Known for its flat trajectory and powerful performance, the .270 Winchester has been a favorite among hunters, outperforming many other "deer cartridges" and providing a balance of speed and manageable recoil. Initially, the .270's reception was lukewarm, with limited press coverage and mixed user experiences due to variable bullet performance. However, it gained significant popularity over time, supported by influential endorsements such as those from Outdoor Life's Jack O'Connor. The article details the Springfield Armory Model 2020 Waypoint rifle, a modern platform that exemplifies the .270's continued relevance, with its advanced design allowing shooters to achieve impressive accuracy with both handloaded and factory ammunition. The Springfield Model 2020 Waypoint offers features that enhance its functionality and shooting comfort, including a carbon-fiber barrel, a precise trigger, and specific design enhancements for improved accuracy and reduced recoil. These attributes combine to maintain the .270 Winchester as a sought-after choice not only for its rich history but also for its high performance in contemporary hunting and shooting sports.

Reduced 22-250 Remington reloads Part - 2

I find this reduced load in the 22-250 Remington fun to shoot because the rifle report is greatly reduced making it easier on your ears and the felt recoil is appears virtually eliminated. Other benefits are longer barrel life, which is perfect for me when plinking. I want to shoot more while punching wholes in a target it is nice to have an alternative that is easy on barrel life. Brass will also last longer as well since ammunition produced using Trail Boss powder reduces pressure by almost half when compared to traditional loads.

What you end up with is a round that performs like a 22 Winchester Magnum to some degree. On average a 22 Mag will shoot a 40 grain bullet at 1,900 fps. My practice load is 9.5 grains of Trail Boss behind a 55-grain bullet. With a chronograph set up 10 feet from the muzzle I recorded an average velocity of 1,855 fps with a spread of 52. I have not tried a heavier charge yet to see if I can reduce the spread. Reluctant to do so because the method I use to zero at 100 yards will be voided. Overall this load produces a ¾ inch group on good days. Hodgdon Reloading Data lists a starting load of 9.1 grains that is advertised at 1,664 fps and generates 17,200 PSI. Maximum is 13.0 grains to obtain 1,984 fps at 26,600 PSI.

Without adjusting your sights you can expect a point of impact nearly 4 inches lower than what your standard 55 grain bullet fired at normal velocities associated with the 22-250. I do not resight for the slower velocity. My goal is to shoot holes in a target and save my ammo for serious target shooting and varmint hunting. Besides I am picky how my rifle is sighted and once I have it the way I want it changing it is a option. Instead I compensate for the faster drop and at the same time practice hold over on longer shots. In my case I practice what a shot would be like at 300 yards while using a 100 yard range. On my scope using the next hash mark down from the crosshairs provides me with a 100 yard zero. Using the same hold with my normal powder charge (34.0 grains of Varget) is what I would use at 300 yards.

Components used: Winchester brass, Hornady # 2266 55 grain SP, Federal #210 large rifle primers, 9.5 grains of Trail Boss

Hornady ELD-X bullet review on Colo. Elk

Hornady #3076 200 grain ELD-X was chosen to use in the Savage Model 110 chambered in 300 Winchester Magnum. The ELD is a long bullet (1.533) so when choosing load data care must be exercised because max loads for a Nosler Partition is not obtainable with the ELD line.

To illustrate below is the data from Hodgdonreloading.com for Retumbo powder, where two loads are listed for 200 grain bullets, the Partition and the Accubond.

The starting charge used on the Partition is 79.0 grains, max is 84.0 whaich is compressed

The Accubond starts at 73.0 and max is 78.0 (also compressed) The Accubond is 1.490 inches in length, .043 inches shorter than the ELD-X.

The testing on the ELD started with 73.0 and reached 76.0 grains. What was discovered is that at 73.0 grain velocity averaged 2685 fps with a spread of 32 fps and accuracy was consistent .75 inches at 100 yards. The charge of 75.0 grains averaged 2789 fps and 76.0 weight charged produced 2885 fps. Both heavier charges averaged spread of excess of 120 fps, the reason being a spike in the shot group, in both cases 3,000 fps was obtained.

For the elk hunt accuracy was preferred over velocity so 73.0 grains was the charge weight, Prvi Partizan brass was selected (I like the close tolerance and longer life) and the primers are Federal #215. The rifle is zeroed at 200 yards.

The bull elk taken with this combination was estimated to be 450 yards, the bullet entered the left front shoulder (which was destroyed), and created massive organ damage. The bull traveled 50 yards after the shot. There was no exit wound therefore the elk absorbed all of the energy of the bullet. The estimated velocity at that range is 2205 fps. The top of the bulls back was the reference point used for aiming, the end result was a clean one shot kill

The ".30" refers to the caliber of the bullet, and the "06" refers to the year the cartridge was adopted—1906. It replaced the .30-03, 6mm Lee Navy, and .30-40 Krag cartridges. (The .30-40 Krag is also called the .30 U.S., .30 Army, or .30 Government.) The .30-06 remained the U.S. Army's primary rifle and machine gun cartridge for nearly 50 years before being replaced by the 7.62×51mm NATO (commercial .308 Winchester) and 5.56×45mm NATO, both of which remain in current U.S. and NATO service. It remains a very popular sporting round, with ammunition produced by all major manufacturers. More details Android, Windows

Remington rifle brass update

The 257 Roberts probably will not be produced in 2019. The list of “What will not be produced” has not been released yet which translates into what will be made available is not known and as always vague at best. My rational is that the Roberts case is marked as seasonal and availability in 2018 was good and supplies are now diminished.

As of time of this article 30-40 Krag, 300 RUM, 35 Whelen, 222 Remington Magnum and 300 SAUM are now being sold here at duckcreeksportinggoods.com. The supply of the Remington Magnum will be short lived, the other three my guess is at least into the spring. It is only a guess and once supplies are gone one can expect at least a five year drought if Remington follows the production schedules they used in the past

Apart from the .244 H&H Magnum and .257 Weatherby Magnum, it is the smallest caliber factory cartridge derived from the 2.85 in (72 mm) Holland & Holland belted magnum case. It was introduced in the late 1950s and early 1960s with the .338 Winchester Magnum and the .458 Winchester Magnum as one of a family of short-cased 2.5 in (64 mm) belted magnum cartridges developed by Winchester based on the .375 Holland & Holland parent case. It was officially introduced to the public by Winchester in 1959. After many years of dwindling use it began enjoying a mild resurgence in popularity in the mid-2000s among long range rifle enthusiasts and reloaders due to the high ballistic coefficient of the heavier 6.5mm bullets and increasing popularity of cartridges such as 6.5mm Creedmoor, .260 Remington, 6.5 Grendel, benchrest and wildcat cartridges in 6.5mm.
