Federal Vital-Shok .280 Remington 150-grain Nosler Partition ammunition (brand part no. P280A) pairs a classic big-game cartridge with one of the most proven premium hunting bullets ever built. Federal Ammunition loads the Nosler Partition’s dual-core, partitioned design specifically because it solves a problem plain cup-and-core bullets can’t: the front core expands rapidly for a wide wound channel while a partition wall holds the rear core intact for deep, controlled penetration. That combination has made the Partition a standard for big game hunters who need a bullet to perform correctly whether the shot is close and quartering or long and broadside. Boxed 20 to a container, this is a proven rifle ammunition choice for serious big-game hunting.
