I haven't email Nosler for clarification yet, asking here first.  Have you noticed on their bullet listings it says "Requires 1:12 twist" on the Partitions?  If I'm running a 1:7 are they going to become flying debris?

Please let me know if you have first-hand experience with these bullets, and if you've run them in tighter twists and if you have had any problems.

Thanks in advance!

I would be they are saying at least a 1-12 twist....

You are correct.  I was impatient so I just called there and spoke to a rep who confirmed; at least a 1:12 twist - so, 1:7-1:12 good to go.  Thanks.

I was concerned that perhaps over-stabilization/jacket separation was an issue in a faster twist rate....

It's an advisory that it will not stabalize in the 1-14" barrels that are out there.

Partitions are built to not come apart, I would be concerned if they were varmint bullets with thin jackets.
