Is Nosler discontinuing the .358 Partition?

Midway lists the 225-grain Partition as "undeliverable," while several other sites simply say "discontinued." One site said the 250-grain was discontinued, also.

I hope this means they have discontinued carrying them and not that Nosler has dropped them from the line. I shoot the 225 and 250, both, in my Whelen, and am having a model 600 rebarreled to .358 Winchester and was planning on the 225-grain being my "go to" bullet for everything up to elk. Of course, there are plenty of other bullets available (theoretically), but I like Partitions!

I guess I could shoot Game Kings for whitetails (.358 is slow enough so as to not turn it inside out) and go to 225-grain A-Frames or North Forks (if I can get a loan at $83 bucks for 50) for elk and moose.

The Nosler site still lists both bullets in the Partition line, but we all know that doesn't mean anything these days.

I am a Nosler man. Send them an email.I Shoot the 225 AB in my Whelen. I used the GK for load workup . The GK is much stouter than I expected. In my test media,they expands to a little bigger than a nikel and did not shed their core. I am running them at 2650 fps.

For what's worth Nosler still lists them on their web site.


As usual just my $.02

Yeah, I found those, along with a couple of boxes of 225-grainers at another site. But when they are gone, they are gone (according to those websites).

And, yes, A-frames are better, but unneeded, for deer and other smaller game.
