- Enclosed rear core retains more than half of the original bullet weight, helping the 165 grain 30 caliber Partition drive through heavy bone and dense tissue.
- Special crimp locks in the rear core section add structural strength so the bullet resists deformation under pressures from powerful 30 caliber magnum loads.
- Flat base Spitzer profile gives a strong bearing surface in the case neck and barrel while still offering a sleek nose for reliable downrange performance.
- Non coated bullet surface works with common copper fouling removal routines and remains compatible with standard lead core rifle barrel care products.

- The balance of sectional density and ballistic coefficient makes this Partition ideal for common 30 caliber hunting distances where you need both reliable expansion and enough penetration to reach vital organs from varied shot angles.
- Proven Partition construction simplifies your load choice because years of field use show how this bullet behaves, letting you focus on fine tuning powder charge and seating depth rather than testing unproven options.
- Many 30 caliber rifles in cartridges such as traditional 30 based hunting rounds shoot 165 grain bullets well, so this design often fits existing twist rates and magazine lengths without special adjustments.
