Old Nosler partition bullets

[bobsmith]

I was cleaning out some old reloading stuff and came across a couple boxes of 7MM 160 grain Nosler partition bullets. These were purchased in the early 70's by a now deceased friend in preparation for an elk hunt. As I remember he used a 7x61 Sharpe & Hart in a custom 98 Mauser and was successful. Anyway, the jacket alloy on these old bullets seems to have more a color of brass than copper and they have machine marks on them as though they were turned on a lathe. How does the accuracy of these older generation Noslers compare with those that are currently manufactured? Just curious.

Early Noslers WERE lathe turned.
Accuracy varied from gun to gun, the current stock would probably be more accurate overall.
Today few people can afford lathe turned bullets.
