How effective are Nosler Partition bullets in adverse weather?

Performance in Rain and Moisture

The Partition bullet’s lead core and copper jacket are designed to work together, providing a controlled expansion that remains effective even in wet conditions. In field tests, Partition bullets have demonstrated a 90% weight retention rate after penetrating 12-18 inches of wet and compacted soil. This is a significant improvement over other bullet types that struggle to maintain their integrity in similar conditions.

Performance in Extreme Temperatures

Partition bullets are designed to perform consistently across a wide range of temperatures, from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F). This is due in part to the bullet’s solid copper jacket, which provides a consistent heat transfer and helps to prevent the lead core from melting or becoming misshapen. In tests, Partition bullets have demonstrated a consistent expansion pattern, even at temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F).

Expansion and Penetration in Snow and Ice

In snow and ice, the Partition bullet’s design allows it to maintain its penetration depth and expansion pattern, even when encountering hard or dense snow. In testing, Partition bullets have penetrated 12-18 inches of compacted snow and ice, with a consistent weight retention rate of 80-90%. This is due in part to the bullet’s robust design and the controlled expansion provided by the lead core and copper jacket.
