[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 1970865, member: 111184"] I started big game hunting in1976 and, for a reason I don’t remember why, I chose Federal Premium Nosler Partitions. $7.99 for a box of 7 mags and $5.99 for a box of .270’s. For 40+ years they have worked great from 10 yards out to 300 yards they worked. I retrieved some of the bullets, and they had that mushroom look just like in the ad pictures. When sighting in my rifle, I was able to consistently shoot 1MOA from 100 yards out to 400 yards (zeroed in at 200 yards). I don’t know why the NPs gave you only 3MOA. Maybe someone else can help out with that issue. A few years ago, a friend recommended Hornady 130gr SST’s. So after 40 years of Nosler Partition satisfaction, I bought a box. Testing the round, it came through at sub-MOA. My first hunt with the SST resulted in a double lung shot at 320 yards. The young whitetail buck bolted a few yards and crumpled up. Exit wound was ~ 3”. Last year I downed a mature cow elk with a broadside spine shot at 30 yards. DRT. Joyce Hornady said that Hornady strove for a bullet that was "Accurate, Deadly, Dependable.” Don’t we all want that? Thanks to all who contributed 😊 👍 Great posts that even included ties to Moby Dick and Texas gut shot humor 😆 [/QUOTE]
