Product Overview
Nosler Trophy Grade 180-grain Partition is a dual-core .30-06 Springfield hunting load made for elk and moose sized game. The Partition has a copper wall dividing its lead core into a front and a rear section. It leaves the muzzle at 2,750 fps with 3,022 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .474.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 23.3 inches at 400 yards, arriving with 1,661 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil is the second heaviest of the 180-grain loads compared.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal's 180-grain Trophy Copper has no lead core and a higher G1 BC of .523 and drops 23.5 inches at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero. Hornady's Superformance 180-grain SST starts 70 fps faster on a G1 BC of .480 and off that zero it drops 21.9 inches at 400.
- The only partitioned bullet among the .30-06 loads compared
- The most muzzle energy of the 180-grain loads compared apart from Hornady's Superformance 180-grain SST
- Carries 1,944 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- A lead core, so it can't be used where lead-free ammunition is required. Federal's 180-grain Trophy Copper is the copper bullet at this weight
- A lower G1 BC than every other 180-grain load compared except Hornady's American Whitetail 180-grain InterLock at .452
- Hornady's Superformance 180-grain SST drops 1.4 inches less at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero
