It’s a great bullet if your hunting open areas where you can see them run off after the shot. Really tears them up on the inside.

I for the life of me can’t figure out why ppl can’t settle on time tested and proven simple copper jacket around a lead core ammo in a green or blue box. Usually, the cheapest ammo is the best at killing stuff, if it groups. And you don’t need sub MOA to kill deer.



This is what I'm seeing. Both deer were average size does. Neither left any blood.

Matt, I was trying to find a factory load that uses a Nosler Partition when you posted. I found the Federals in stock at Natchez and ordered a couple of boxes. I haven't reloaded in 20 years but have .308 brass and found 2 boxes of 150 gr., .30 cal. Partitions, so I guess I'll start setting up to make my own again.
