Charlie brown, the basic construction of the PG is identical to the Partiton except the partition is moved slightly forward and there is a steel cap over the lead core in the rear of the bullet. I have used both bullets and I can tell you the PG did not shoot as well as a regular partition. I am basing it on 30 caliber 180's and 7mm 160 grain bullets.


[quote][/Another point why Nosler has not made the Partition a bonded bullet is because when it was designed, few big game hunting calibers pushed a bullet fast enough to cause it to blow up when it hit something solid. The Partition still works for these calibers quite well. Move into the magnum and ultra magnum class and it is a whole new ball game. That is why it seems that people are not considering using the Partition because a lot of people are on the velocity high. Talk to a lot of people who shoot .270's and .30-06 and a bonded core bullet is really not necessary to achieve plenty of penetration because the velocities are kept low enoughquote]

I sort of agree on this with you this. These super velocity magnums kind of change things a bit. That said Lazzeroni introduced his hyper velocity calibers with a Nosler partition bullet and no it was not a PG. In fact he mentioned he didn't like the PG. He evidently now markets a variation of the Barnes triple shock called a Lazerhead.
