[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 2343151, member: 8622"] Yup that was me. I was impressed with the 200 grain Nosler Partition. Loaded it to 2600 fps with H4350, got good accuracy, and it seemed to shoot surprisingly flat out to 300 yards, zeroed at 200. Also, interestingly the recoil seemed to slow a bit, and wasn't a problem at all. That is subjective of course. Rifle is a 24" Remington 700 CDL. Had an old 2-7x Redfield on it then, replaced it later with a 6x Leupold. I've only shot two animals with it, a wolf, and the grizzly. The wolf was at 200+ yards, as I recall around 250 yards. I was pleased to see that the 200 grain Nosler Partition obviously expanded. Of course it completely penetrated the wolf. Next up was the grizzly, four shots from about 40 or 50 yards down to about 15 yards, along with shots from the guide's 338 Win Mag. We recovered one 200 grain Nosler Partition from the bear, and a 225 grain Barnes TSX that I fired into the downed bear to finish it. If I'd shot better initially, the other shots wouldn't have been necessary. I may have been a wee bit excited when I saw the bear suddenly appear at such close range. :) I have an excellent general purpose load with the 165 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip at 2940 fps that's taken elk, black bear, mule deer and pronghorn. I think it's a better load for deer hunting, but I'm sure that the 200 grain load would work fine, since it expanded nicely on the 75 pound wolf. 200 grain Nosler recovered from the grizzly: [img]https://i.imgur.com/JmjSdtFl.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/rBidVQMl.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/M6LXdS4l.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/OVkVXLnl.jpg[/img] Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
