ID this bullet, please

[johnnyk]

Someone gave me these bullets years ago and I have no idea what they are, other than 7mm 160gn. They have exposed lead tips and exposed lead bases. There appears to be pressure cuts in the shank, kinda like what's on the Barnes Triple Shocks. Is this a older Partition? Best guess.....?

Swift A frame?

 

[DocDoc]

Picture could be better, but first impression is Nosler partition of the older variety.

Looks like an old Norma

I've got some very old 338 cal partitions and they do not have a " pressure cut" on them . I'd venture to say swift also but it's really hard to tell

 

[johnnyk]

Sorry for the sucky picture. Here's another...

 

[elkaholic]

It is an old partition. 60's vintage even?

 

[Ranger Rick]

It does look like the early NP's

 

[elkaholic]

yep

 

[1894C]

As stated above looks like a very old school partition

Dang, thanks for the help fellas. I can see that some have been pulled but I don't know where they came from. I only have about 30 but I'm gonna push some tomorrow ahead of Retumbo and see what the 7Mag 700P likes. Hopefully I can find a sub MOA load within 12-15 shots and if so I'll load the rest and use 'em on deer.

Sure look like vintage nosler partition from my recollection. Shot many way back in a 338 win mag. Ok accuracy, but nothing great. Were and still are lethal.

 

[elkaholic]

I had some 165 grain partitions back around 1970 that i shot in my '06 that looked justclike that!

 

[Hunterjones]

Yes. Definitely an old perhaps machine turned Nosler Partition Bullet
