I have posted this story before, but l think it’s worth posting again. In 1981, l was just learning to reload, and had a 300 win mag. Stopped at small local shop for reloading supplies. No big box stores back than. Guy asked what l needed, l said l would like some 180 grain partitions, 30 caliber. He didn’t smile, laugh, nothing, but looked me in the eye and said wouldn’t we all. Reached on the shelf behind the counter and set a box of Sierra 30 caliber 200 grain boat tails on the counter.
Seems the 30 cal, 180 partition has been getting the job done long before that date.
It’s a very good choice than and today
