[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1678272, member: 9308"] Hey 73driver, this post ^^ I agree with. Thanks for clarifying your intent. This makes more sense to me. OP is getting great results with his chosen hunting bullet and is looking to fine tune it even more. I respect that. Why not eek every bit of accuracy out of the thing when he is so close to wrapping up his load development? If he switches bullets now, he's starting over...when he doesn't need to. Now if he posted a bunch of 2" groups and seemed 'lost' about what to do next, then I think it would be fair to pitch him some new projectile ideas. Or if he was looking to do some 750 yard deer shooting with a round-nosed Hornady, then load development wouldn't be his 'primary problem.' It would be logical for people to nudge him toward better bullet clarity. CB4128 is looking to shoot whitetail, mule deer, and hogs. You load for the biggest, toughest animal you'll hunt. Mule deer are big, thick-bodied deer, half way between a whitetail and cow elk in size. The 150 grain Partition is a fine choice. Even hogs have a 'gristle plate' that can defeat some cup and core bullets, so (again) the Partition makes a lot of sense. Other bullets could work, too, I'm sure. But his current choice shoots well (and the OP seems to be a really good shot!) I'm excited to see what he ends up with after trying some different COALs. [/QUOTE]
