With a 7mm Weatherby and the Hornady 139 gr. bullet, I was destroying a lot of meat on deer and Antelope. I went to the 140 gr. Nosler Partition and the meat destruction was much less, however the animals did take one or two steps more before going down.
I have used and continue to use both now for over 30+yrs in various calibers 30-06, 300 Win Mag/WSM, 7 Rem Mag, 7-08, 308, 25-06, 270 Win/WSM, 280 and I’ve taken a number of deer, moose, elk and black bear over the years and I cannot recall even one time where either the Partition or the Interlock failed. Most shots (about 80%) were 250yds or under and a handful at 400yds.
My second rifle ever was a pristine pre 64 model 70, 30-06. I bought it to hunt and the salesman said collectors would cry! I asked about shells and was told the partition was the best, period! Over the years partitions have never failed me, within normal hunting ranges!
Both good bullets but I’ll go with the partition all day long. The old discontinued partition gold in the 180 grain configuration will shoot .2” to .3” in my 300 RUM till the barrel heats up. I have a Timney trigger set a 2 pounds, or a hair less, and an HS Prescion stock to aid in accuracy.
Ive used both for my REM700 30'06. Ive loaded 150 - 220gr Partitions for my 30'06 and successfully dispatched Bull Moose here in Alaska with well placed headshots maintaining a long 0 follow up streak. Ive used and still have confidence in using the 180 and 220 Hornady RN bullets for big game👍👍
A partition in a 280 rem 150 gr and 180 gr 300 wsm have both been devastating on elk and exotics. I use 140 gr Winchester silver ballistic tip in 280 rem for whitetail/ muleys because animals seem to go down faster I assuming because the bullet comes apart doing more quick internal terminal velocity damage, but a partition will drive right thru bone still take an elk down at 400 yards if misjudge wind etc. I love the content.
The reason that you can't hardly find the Nosler partition, and Accubond, even though there much more expensive should tell you something. The Hornady's are every where, and there much cheaper, that should speak for itself also.
My vote is for the Interlok. I have not tried the Partitions, but they obviously sound like a great bullet. Availability is definitely a concern if you can’t get your hands on them. I’ve shot a few big bucks in Maine that have been well over 200lbs dressed and a lot of other ones just under. With my 7mm-08 the Interloks have dropped just about all of them in their tracks. I can’t remember one of them going more than 30 yards or so. With these results I’m more then confident using the Inteloks
I use Partition on elk and larger and Sierra Gamekings on deer and smaller. Any relatively inexpensive cup and core bullet will work just fine for deer sized game provided you aren't shooting it at super high velocity. At least that's been my experience after 42 years of hunting.
Roy Weatherby liked the Hornady bullet because it blew up using all it's devastating energy inside the animal. He did admit that you would lose more edible meat but you wouldn't have to Trail that animal or lose it all together. His theory on high velocity killing power.
Question? I have a vanguard that shoots the sst ,interlock and partition dead on, out of my MK5 it will spin the 117 interlock left of center, I know I could adjust to center however my question is will this bullet have a tendency to spin off to left at longer yardages? Any input appreciated,thanks
Been using hornady interlocks for 35 years and found they do just what they say they do. I've used both of these types in a few different calibers and stayed with interlocks. I hunt in PA and don't get many shots more than 300 to 400 yards. The interlocks were more accurate and killed much faster. Took many whitetails and 4 black bear and these interlocks never once failed me. I'm not putting down the partitions but the interlocks shot better groups and did their job.
What rifle you shooting? I killed a FEW critters with both bullets, many years ago, I dropped a cow elk with the hornaday, I found a 70 grain jacket under the hide on the far side. -- every bull I shoot with the partition I never find the bullet! It passes through. .375 RUM, drops anything I hit! I did a BAD shot on a monster mule buck, (I was going for his neck as he was running from me) he jumped, and I hit his ass, smashed through the pelvis, down a tenderloin, through the lungs and I found the bullet on his brisket. Still weighed 250 grains (was 300 origonally ) after it passed through 4' of buck. (ONLY partition I ever recovered). Oh, I ate the tenderloin that night WITH a 3/4" bullet hole down the middle
This is a easy decision nosler partition is what all other hunting bullets are compared to the partition has been around for so long because it is a great hunting bullet and works very well.and does not come apart at high velocity like the horady and other cup and core bullets
The partition hands down is the better bullet in this comparison iv used both and the interlock on adverage shoots a touch better the nosler holds to gether better have still shot it to 700 yards successfully in a few chamberings ect and terminal performance is better on the partition exp where contact with heavy bone is concerned the interlock works great on medium frame critters deer, black bear ,goats,hogs the partition is better for elk moose bigger bears it can still be used on the smaller game with success big cost wise the interlock seems to Excell there
Yes the Partition is a better bullet. I've heard a lot of people say the Partition is not a very accurate bullet. Guess I'm lucky that my 300 WBY will shoot it 3/4 inch. I've been tempted to buy some interlock bullets, but haven't done it yet
@@ReloadingWeatherby iv been able to get sub 1 " groups at 200 yards with partitions they can a little harder to get to shoot that way but then again they are not a target bullet they are a "hunting" bullet and as such work absolutely fantastic when used typically under 500 yards where bc means very little. For longer shots I use berger hybrids or eld match. For example in my 300 prc I run the 208 eld match and have taken elk moose deer bear ect under 300 I shoot thru the lungs 400 and over I go high shoulder. I love the partition in general 1 of favorite loads uses a 200 grain partition in a 300 win mag have help numerous people develop loads for there guns with that bullet mainly 300 win mags or 300 weatherby rifles and a few 300 rums and it makes short work of everything it touches
Partition is what come to mind for big dangerous game, or African hunts imo. It's a top notch bullet, for close to medium range. Never loaded or shot them, but respect them greatly.
@@ashmerch2558 Swift A-frame is a superior bullet, being bonded...but yes. Those two also fit in the same category. I'm not sure who came out first, but imo if swift copied nosler that's kinda BS. Everyone's doing that to some degree now.
@@brent338 100% .... I'd also add the Barnes TSX to that list... That might be the best choice of all, for said application. Superior penetration and adaquate expansion. If it was me, running a big bolt gun ( 416's, big 45's and larger) I'd run a TSX in the chamber followed up by solids
@@ReloadingWeatherby Don't get me wrong. I love the videos, and the comparisons. It's just that a lot of the comparisons in the types of bullets are not fair. A more level playing field would make them more interesting. Like the partition type ( partition vs A-frame) instead of partition vs cup and cores
The Interlock is a great deer bullet under normal conditions. It really is an improved CoreLokt idea. The old Remington CoreLokt was also a very reliable and cost effective bullet before Hornady brought out their Interlock design. The Partition is a great heavier than deer bullet under normal conditions. Both are fairly vintage technology and have probably been eclipsed but not truly replaced. Probably never will be totally replaced. They are both good at what they do and how they do it.
Love interlock's... They are a terrific bullet. They just work... But... C'mon we are literally comparing it to the gold standard of hunting bullets. If I only had to hunt with 1 bullet for the rest of my life, it would be the Nosler Partition. Particularly the heavier for caliber semi- spitzer style. I.e. 160gr 0.277 dia, 220gr 0.308" I wish I could find more of em
This is a hard decision. I like both bullets and have used both bullets to take many game animals. When taking cost into account, I would go with the Hornady interlock because they are considerably less expensive than the partitions. If I was on a once in a lifetime hunt, I would rather have the partition because how great of a bullet design it is. Even though it’s a tough decision, I’m gonna choose the partition.
NP were altered many years ago, from drilled and filled with lead cold and then pressed together,shaped and so To be drawn with heated equipment ,and the rest,thereby making bullet more brittle,fragiler and in some speeds not so good.
Got to go with the Partition as have been using it for about 60 years and it has not failed yet. But I have wondered with all the fuss about BCs why Nosler has not designed a partition with a high BC ...I doubt it would be that hard to update.
I think Nosler is just keeping true to hunting realities, and not bending to the marketing hype where the partition is concerned. I think it's safe to say that 90% of all hunting the shooter can ignore the BC rating of a particular projectile. It doesn't really start to make any viable difference until you are working out to the 400-500 y range.
This is a difficult one. Interlock for deer and below, it doesn’t fail easily, available everywhere, and good value. But with Elk and Moose in the equation, it has to be the Partition.
Partitions in my rifle shoot 2moa, interlock submoa. Load development with Partitions is expensive, and they are hard to get to shoot accurately, the interlocks are the opposite. For thin skined game I vote interlock.
@@ReloadingWeatherby I have a savage 111, and it LOVES factory federal 100 grainers. So I never reloaded for it. And have about 30 boxes piled up. (Buy 1 or 2 boxes a year, shoot it 1 or 2 times still accurate kill 1 or 2 deer) put the rest away, next year buy 1 or 2 boxes on sale... The other day we took my brothers 243 Ruger Hawkeye out (Leopold vx2), the savage 234 111 with vx2 (cheap rings and base). And my wife's BRAND NEW sako 243grey wolf (vx2 50mm) out. -- same federal 100 grain factory, same optics basically, same lead sled... Using the lead sled 200 yards the savage got 1" groups, the Hawkeye about 1.5" and the sako 2.5" groups.... embarrassing as hell the 400.00 rifle offshoots the 1500.00 rifle! So now I am working loads up... I have 1 box of 100 grain partitions, and a scattering of mixed 6mm bullets. I am forced to work a load up for the interlock, its also a 35.00 for 100 vs the sticker price of 64.00 a box of 50 partitions. Partition is better, but, not available= interlock will win, until 2025.
Nosler partition 😎👍🏻 Also another one good like it is the swift a frame I got a box of them factory weatherby in 6.5 /300 bee and I don’t want to shoot them because they are like dinosaurs extinct
Ha Ha, I'm sorry. Yes I meant the Interlock has always blown through. And one thing I failed to mention is Weatherby loads the Interlock in their factory ammo too.
You know, if Nosler or anybody else had deliberately engineered a cheaper bullet that was 100% interchangeable with Partition they would have had a real best seller. Use the regular ones for deer and targets and the Partitions for the big boys. The only reason the Partition doesn't enjoy widespread universal bullet status is cost. It's reputation is stellar on game. We just fired 3 rounds of factory .30-06 this week. Federal Premium with 180 Partitions. They were running about $30.00 a box when I bought them years ago on clearance for $7.00 a box. Now it would cost about $60.00 a box to replace them. $3.00 a shot isn't a recipe for selling tons of ammo or bullets. And yes, that particular rifle shoots Hornady Interlock just fine and has taken game with the Hornady. Most of my deer were with Interlock bullets. They get the job done just fine at a price that makes premium bullets by any maker a joke 90% of the time. It's that last 10% of hunting scenarios that just might be worth a special premium bullet. Ones with an engineered insurance policy designed into the bullet.
Summer of 2022, hornaday wins simply becasue its available and nosler is NOT. I can NOT buy partitions (I live 90 minutes from Nosler) so I obviously prefer it. BUT, I can go to the local discount sporting good shop and buy Hornaday... Sadly, I am forced to run the hornaday as it's all I can get, and hornaday is 1/4 the price of you could find it. Unless somebody has some 6mm partitions they want to trade for some powder or primers! (I have PLEANTY of them).
The partition has harvested alot of game for me and good accuracy in my rifles . Never tried interlocks but have loaded some for two friends of mine 30-06 and 308 winchester and they have worked well on game for them. I think there both excellent choices at ethical hunting ranges and with good shot placement! I agree with you that finding partions to load these days are almost impossible to find and it seems like the hornady interlocks are available! thanks for the great video!
No comparison at all. NOSLERS ARE STILL THE STANDARD ALL OTHERS ARE JUDGED, INTERLOCKS WORK FOR DEER BUT ON ELK AND BIG STUFF IT'S NOSLERS ALL THE WAY.
When my father and his friend were reloading in the 50’s and 60’s the Partition as the best you could get at the time! That being said my uncles 300 Weatherby when shooting up close like at or under 100 yards was still coming apart on some big bears and elk shot! The Partition is still better the the Interlock. Both are great on non magnums or at longer ranges except there is better bullets for longer ranges
Nosler Partition, still the bullet all others are compared to!
I agree

I like Interlock. I can practice with it at the range as well because it's affordable.
Partitions are the standard in medium/big game performance. Interlocks have performed well for me in my .243.
I like and use both. I dont use high BC beer can bullets. Seen to many fly apart and frag into a Million pieces. Old school every day all the way.
This is a comparison I’m excited to see

Lee Adams - why do you need a high BC hunting bullet when 350 yards is considered an ethical distance on medium to large game?

Partition all day, every day!

Interlock is a good bullet but partitions are what all others are compared to.
Yep
Summer of 2022, hornaday wins simply becasue its available and nosler is NOT.
I can NOT buy partitions (I live 90 minutes from Nosler) so I obviously prefer it. BUT, I can go to the local discount sporting good shop and buy Hornaday...
Sadly, I am forced to run the hornaday as it's all I can get, and hornaday is 1/4 the price of you could find it.
Unless somebody has some 6mm partitions they want to trade for some powder or primers! (I have PLEANTY of them).

The partition has harvested alot of game for me and good accuracy in my rifles . Never tried interlocks but have loaded some for two friends of mine 30-06 and 308 winchester and they have worked well on game for them. I think there both excellent choices at ethical hunting ranges and with good shot placement! I agree with you that finding partions to load these days are almost impossible to find and it seems like the hornady interlocks are available! thanks for the great video!

Interlock historically more accurate ,cheaper , shot placement important
True
No comparison at all. NOSLERS ARE STILL THE STANDARD ALL OTHERS ARE JUDGED, INTERLOCKS WORK FOR DEER BUT ON ELK AND BIG STUFF IT'S NOSLERS ALL THE WAY.

When my father and his friend were reloading in the 50’s and 60’s the Partition as the best you could get at the time! That being said my uncles 300 Weatherby when shooting up close like at or under 100 yards was still coming apart on some big bears and elk shot! The Partition is still better the the Interlock. Both are great on non magnums or at longer ranges except there is better bullets for longer ranges
