The Nosler 16326 Partition 7mm 150gr Spitzer bullets deliver exceptional performance for medium to large game hunting with their proven dual-core construction. These premium hunting bullets feature Nosler's legendary Partition design that has dominated the hunting field for over 70 years. The 150-grain weight provides an ideal balance of velocity and energy retention for 7mm cartridges.
What Makes This Different
The Partition's unique dual-core design sets it apart from conventional hunting bullets through its solid copper partition that separates the front and rear cores. While the front core expands rapidly upon impact for maximum energy transfer, the rear core remains intact to ensure deep penetration. This controlled expansion typically retains 60-70% of the bullet's original weight, compared to 40-50% retention rates of standard soft-point bullets.
Key Features
- Dual-core construction with solid copper partition barrier
- 150-grain weight optimized for 7mm Remington Magnum and similar cartridges
- Spitzer boat-tail profile for improved ballistic coefficient
- Tapered copper-alloy jacket for controlled expansion
- Lead-alloy front core designed for rapid expansion
- Solid rear core ensures deep penetration on heavy game
- Premium brass cases ready for reloading applications
Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy in quality rifles with proper load development. The 150-grain weight excels on deer, elk, and similar-sized game at ranges from 100 to 400 yards. These bullets maintain structural integrity through heavy bone and muscle tissue while creating substantial wound channels. The Spitzer profile maintains velocity effectively, making them suitable for longer-range hunting applications where energy retention matters.
