I'm working on aquiring a Ruger Mk II Target; it has a 28" barrel. That should get the velocity where it needs to be for partitions.

About the bullets... I have six boxes of "vintage" partitions bought years ago off a closeout shelf. The cannelure is lathe turned into the jacket. The forward section, where the nose begins to taper to the tip, also appears to be lathe turned. Under a magnifying glass you can see fine lines from just forward of the cannelure all the way to the tip. I'm very interested to see how "old tech" works with "new tech".

I'm going to put them on top of 43 gr.s H4350.

Thanks for the replys
