The Nosler 35642 Partition 6mm 100gr Spitzer delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. This premium hunting bullet features Nosler's proven dual-core construction that has accounted for more big game harvests than any other premium bullet design.
What Makes This Different
The Partition's unique dual-core design separates the front and rear cores with a solid copper partition wall. While the front core expands rapidly for maximum energy transfer, the rear core remains intact to drive deep into vital organs. This controlled expansion typically retains 60-70% of original bullet weight, compared to standard cup-and-core bullets that may retain only 40-50%.
Key Features
- Dual-core construction with solid copper partition for controlled expansion
- 100-grain weight optimized for 6mm cartridges including .243 Winchester and 6mm Creedmoor
- Spitzer boat-tail profile reduces drag for flatter trajectory and retained velocity
- Tapered copper-alloy jacket engineered for consistent mushrooming
- Hand-inspected bullets ensure concentricity within 0.003 inches
- Proven performance on game from deer to elk at extended ranges
- 50-bullet count provides sufficient quantity for load development and hunting
Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2X bullet diameter expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 3,200 fps. The 100-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for the 6mm caliber, making it suitable for deer, antelope, and black bear hunting. Weather conditions have minimal impact on terminal performance due to the solid copper partition design.
