[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1715268, member: 109113"] I've never tried the Nosler Partition in the 22-250, but judging from how it has worked for me in the 30-06, if I was going to use the little rifle as my "meat gun" like I did years ago, that is the bullet I would try first. I would do it with confidence, too. ( My preferred bullet for this application years ago, long before the fancy bullets we have now even existed, was the Winchester 64-grain Power Point.) If it turned out that I couldn't get the necessary accuracy with that bullet, I would try the monolithic bullets next, based again on my experience with them in larger cartridges. The thing I liked the best about the smaller rifle was how little blood-shot meat I had to throw away. It was great for stacking up a bunch of does, and having a really clean butchering session. I only used it in the doe-only seasons, so I have no idea what would happen if I had shot a full-sized buck right on the shoulder knuckle. ( I was using the 308 for that at the time.) All I know about are rib-cage shots on smallish does. I also don't claim any knowledge about shooting hogs with this cartridge - I've never done it - and, I probably won't. [/QUOTE]
