Re: American .323" bullets

Well I got some Nosler 200 grain Partitions, some Speer 200 grain flat base Hot Cores and I loaded some of the 170 Gr Hornady SSTs.

I have not loaded any of the 200 grain Noslers yet, but the Speers were loaded with 46 Gr of IMR4064 and shot 3 rounds into .630" at 100. That's only .005" over 5/8". Super good!

But the SSTs were amazing.
3 rounds shot into .234". 46 grains of IMR4895.
I was very impressed, not only with the accuracy of both bullets, but even more-so with the accuracy of the barrel. It is a cut off military M98 barrel. It was brand new, but still a 40s production military barrel. Shooting anything under 1/4" center to center with this barrel was astounding.

I think I will load some of the Partitions on the same load of powder as the Speers and see how they do.

This is all unimportant if they don't work well on game, but maybe I'll find out in the next few months. There are deer and elk in my plans.
