Where to buy 308 nosler partition in Rochester

[NirvanaFan]

Has anybody bought 308 nosler partition or accubond rounds in or around Rochester? I'm not set up for reloading, so they have to be assembled rounds.

I know buying/selling homemade ammo is against the law, but I'd pay for the time and supplies on your press if no shop sells them locally.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm looking to change my ammo for an elk hunt. Nothing like waiting 18 days before you leave, right?

Bumping this...
Or, if you know of a place that has .308 rounds and ships to NY without going through an FFL, that would work to. I'm looking for 165 or 180 grain Partitions or 165 AccuBonds, in that order. Feel free to PM me if you know an online store has these in stock and will ship directly to me.

Bass Pro isn't too far from you. I would call there and see what they have. Maybe field and stream, IDK how far they are.

I'd give you the 165 Accubonds I have left but I doubt 5 rounds is gonna do it for ya. I found them at the Cheektowaga Cabelas and their website says it's in-stock there. It's an option if you're willing to make the drive and shell out $2+ per round.

I bought them at Beikirchs in East Rochester. Call them.

Thanks. I've never been there, but I'll check them out.

If you cannot find I will give you some. But also check the interbond, speer hpbt and even the solid TTSX that with less weight they are lightning rods very effective on elk.
With this I mean a 130gr TTSX from a 308 winchester is not very different than a 270 of the same weight at the average distances we shoot and will anchor that elk withing the 300-400 yards range.

They have a bunch of Federal loads with 150gr Partition bullets. I was really hoping for the 165gr bullets, but beggars can't be choosers. My rifle is already sighted in using 165gr ballistic tips. I'm going to swing by after work and check out what they have. I definitely want to use a solid/bonded bullet. I figure my max range is somewhere in the 300 yard range. If I can pick up 2 boxes, I'll try shooting out to 400 this weekend.

I appreciate the offer and advice. I've got a little more researching to do. I've heard good things about the TTSX and elk. It's usually the 168gr that I see though. Good thing this is the last major thing I have to do before my trip. I leave in 15 days and am already itching to pack.

I stopped by gander in Henrietta tonight. They had the Federal loaded 150gr partitions, so I picked up a couple of boxes. I was hoping for the 165gr, but, these will still do the job. Thanks for the help everyone.

IMO 150 gr might be better. The partition is a pretty stout bullet and the extra speed will give you a wider wound cavity.
Although it is hard to say because depends on many other variables. If you hit the elk well I don't think it is going to matter to be honest.
Good luck, be safe and bring some meat.
