200 grain Nosler Partition, from Shooters Pro Shop and came with a canneure. Other 200 Partitions I bought, didn't have them. Some do, some don't.
I seated it at various depths and this one produced the best accuracy. I really don't remember the overall length or the distance from the lands. Not sure I even measured that.
The cartridges had to cycle through the action flawlessly, which they did. Had 'em a tad longer, and one stuck! So, I shortened them a bit.
And they had to be accurate. This was easily under MOA, and I'd be braggin' a bit at the smallest of the three-shot 100-yard groups. They were pretty tight!

Congrats on the hunt, and great write up. Good comments also. That's why I like this site.
Since my first trip in '72, I bet I've made 20 or more round trips up the AlCan.
I don't care if it cost 10 times as much, no way would I fly and miss driving that HI way.
I like drving it in winter. But Early Spring is best. I've spent a lot of time in the Arctic but no one has better Northern Lights then the Yukon in March and April.
Now I want to drive that road again, no other reason then I haven't driven it in a few years.
I've met some great people along that hi way.
Again, congrats on the successful hunt.
