I suspect that a few shooters have read somewhere that Nosler Partitions are (allegedly) less accurate than some other bullets, and then they repeat that pearl of wisdom without ever having shot any of them. To be honest, even some gun writers are guilty of similar and erroneous gospel quoting; not all "knowledge" is factual.

It may even have been true at some point in time, but Nosler has made great improvements in the Partition over the years. Today's Partition is probably at least as accurate as most other hunting bullets - although some individual rifles might not reveal that.

I have part of a box left of some of the original lathe-turned, brass jacket Partitions - the ones with the relief cut at the waist of the bullet. I loaded and shot the missing ones. It's true that some of them were "flyers" and landed wide of the group. But it's also true that not one ever failed on a deer! I treasure the ones I have left.
