The Nosler 16320 Partition bullets deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration for 6.5 Creedmoor hunters demanding consistent terminal performance. This 125-grain spitzer configuration combines the proven dual-core design with aerodynamic efficiency for medium to large game hunting. Each bullet features Nosler's patented partition barrier that ensures the rear portion remains intact for maximum weight retention.
What Makes This Different
The Partition's unique dual-core construction sets it apart from conventional hunting bullets. While standard bullets may fragment or fail to expand consistently, the Partition's copper partition wall separates the front and rear cores, guaranteeing controlled expansion in the front while maintaining structural integrity in the rear. This design has proven effective across decades of field use, delivering 60-70% weight retention compared to 40-50% for many competitors.
Key Features
- Patented partition wall separates dual lead cores for controlled expansion
- 125-grain spitzer profile optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics
- Tapered copper jacket provides consistent mushrooming at various velocities
- Semi-spitzer boat tail design enhances long-range accuracy
- Proven terminal performance on medium to large game animals
- 60-70% weight retention maintains deep penetration
- 50 bullets per box for extended hunting seasons
Field performance demonstrates the Partition's effectiveness across hunting scenarios from whitetail deer to elk-sized game. The 125-grain weight provides excellent sectional density in 6.5 Creedmoor, maintaining velocity and energy downrange while generating manageable recoil. Weather conditions have minimal impact on terminal performance due to the robust copper jacket construction. Hunters report consistent expansion at impact velocities ranging from 1,800 to 3,000 fps.
