Nosler Trophy Grade .30-06 Springfield rifle ammunition (brand part no. 61018) loads a 165-grain Partition bullet at a rated 2950 fps, built around the original Nosler design that has defined premium big-game hunting bullets since 1948. A copper partition wall physically divides the bullet into two separate lead cores, one at the front and one at the rear, so the front core expands into a controlled mushroom on impact while the partition wall stops that expansion from spreading into the rear core. That rear core stays essentially intact, driving on for the deep penetration that makes Partition bullets a proven choice for hunters chasing tough, heavy-boned game. For .30-06 Springfield hunters who want a proven, decades-tested controlled-expansion bullet, this rifle ammunition from Nosler is built for exactly that.
