rhino 270 solid shank 160 gr bullet stability

[Treeman]

The stability of 160 gr bullets in a .270 Win 1:10 twist is pretty close to the edge, I can not see this solid shank = more bullet length, added length helping.
What are the opinions in regard to this bullet and stability ?

How does the length compare to a regular cup-and-core bullet?

If it is longer, one might be able to get closer to an answer by comparing it to a 180gr C&C bullet.

I know this because I used to shoot 130gr Impala LWHV in my 308; they had the same accuracy as 180gr bullets.

Length of bullet
Nosler PART 160gr = 33.02mm
Rhino 160gr = 33.60mm

Might not have a serious affect on stability.

A local manufacturer has agreed to make me 160 gr bullets. The company APM bullets will provide a thick jacketed cup and core bullet - just what I want.
Lower velocity, and a easily deformed bullet that holds together - I hope.

I'd be interested in taking a few of those off your hands for gits and shiggles. Of the three cast and powdercoated bullet loads I developed for my 270 the second most accurate was a 155gr and that only by a hair. Would be interesting to see how a heavier jacketed bullet at more typical velocities behaved.

Well the Nosler Partitions can now be sold ? Full box x 50 ?

Thanks but on second sober thoughts I'll leave well enough alone. I don't get to hunt so have no real use for them and lots of other pressing money holes to fill.
