I hear you. I just realized that part of the lot of 6mm bullets I bought are some older Nosler partitions. Now I'm skeered and'll probably weigh those.Might have been something that got by Nosler at the time,1970s. But there 30 cal. 180 grain partition bullets were as much as 15 + grains out [That was what started me going nuts placing every jacketed and cast pill on a scale] I really wanted them to work in that caliber! Love the concept of the H partition and separate lead hardness. I tested for penetration, remaining bullet condition and spent weight, in sand stone, sand, wood and soil. Also shot a few steel plates of various thickness. Other than disintegration hitting the thicker plate steels, not one was recovered de-jacketed. I spent lots of time shooting them! Someplace around here I think I still have the targets with all the load data and color codes I used at the time, written in place on the paper targets and may still have a partial box and a maybe full box of bullets from that lot#.
