GAHUNTERIs 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.

Texas KillartistI 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.

ramrod340For what's worth Nosler still lists them on their web site.

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.
