Nosler 416 Cal 400gr Partition (50ct)
The Nosler 416 Cal 400gr Partition (50ct) is a heavy-duty bullet component designed for handloaders requiring deep penetration, controlled expansion, and reliable performance in .416-caliber dangerous game rifles. Featuring Nosler’s proven Partition dual-core construction—with a soft lead front core for dependable expansion and a hard rear core for maximum weight retention—this 400gr projectile delivers consistent wound channels and ethical terminal performance. Each box contains fifty meticulously polished, weight-sorted bullets ready for precision seating in high-caliber loads.
Machined to a .416″ bullet diameter and fitted with a tapered Spitzer boat-tail profile, the 416 Cal 400gr Partition offers superior downrange stability, flat trajectory, and resistance to wind drift. Upon impact, the front core expands predictably to create effective wound cavities, while the rear core drives through thick hide and heavy bone, making it ideal for cartridges like .416 Rigby, .416 Remington Magnum, and other .416-class dangerous-game platforms.
Key technical specifications include a ballistic coefficient (G1) of approximately 0.330 and a sectional density (SD) near 0.321. With an overall length of about 1.750″, this bullet stabilizes accurately in barrels with 1:12″ twist rates or faster. Nosler’s dual-core jacket system supports around 60–70% weight retention post-impact, promoting deep, straight-line penetration—essential for ethical hunting on elephant, cape buffalo, moose, and other large dangerous game.
In field use, the 416 Cal 400gr Partition consistently delivers reliable expansion followed by deep penetration, providing clean, one-shot performance on dangerous game. Hunters report dependable terminal results and accurate shot placement even in extreme conditions. The Spitzer boat-tail design enhances ballistic efficiency for improved trajectory and accuracy at typical safari ranges.
This product is strictly a bullet component—not factory-loaded ammunition. Handloaders should reference Nosler’s official load data and trusted reloading manuals. Recommended powders include Hodgdon H‑4831SC, IMR 7828, or Reloder 22 to safely drive this heavy .416-caliber projectile. Proper case preparation, neck tension, seating depth, and consistent cartridge overall length are essential to ensure safety, accuracy, and reliable performance.
Featuring Nosler’s durable Partition dual-core engineering, aerodynamic boat-tail profile, and precision craftsmanship, the 416 Cal 400gr Partition bullet component offers serious hunters and reloaders a premium choice for terminal reliability, retained energy, and long-range accuracy in .416‑caliber big-game applications.
