I think the "Partitions are bad for doubles" is an old wives tale, that keeps getting repeated. I know several people who shoot them in doubles with no problems whatsoever. Also, the rib came off after the Simmons repair, while shooting factory Norma ammo(non H-style). I shot Partitions after the Champlin repair, and the rib stuck to the barrel like bark on a tree.

Granted, I wouldn't shoot mono-solids in a double, but Partitions don't worry me. The 9.3 in particular, as it still has the old style relief groove cut over the partition.

I agree Jeff, there is no reason not to shoot Nosler Partitions in a double rifle! The problems have come from solid Brass mono-metel bullets like the Barnes Super Solids, and the A-square monolithic solids. The north Fork, and GS custom copper bullets, with the presure grouves cut in the solid body of the bullet, to allow the rifleing to engrave the shank, with some place for the displaced metel to go, and OK for double rifles. The partition has only a small section for the ewb between the front, and back, and poses no problems in a double rifle. The Swift A-Frame, is getting close to being too solid in the middle, and I do not use them in my doubles. I do use the NF, GSC, and Nosler Partitions in all my rifles, doubles included!
