[QUOTE="Tom Wright, post: 2344596, member: 108611"] Sometimes old might be better. I would suggest a good old Nosler partition or, (my favorite) a Swift A-frame. I have taken game from Steenbok to Eland, and Red Stag to 300 # mule deer to 500# Nilgai to Kudu, at ranges from 100 yards to just under 475 yards with great performance, perfect expansion, (most bullets recovered in opposite shoulder, just under the hide), and one shot kills. Never have had an issue or problem with gun or bullet—my performance sometimes is a different story. A lot of guys seek the Holy Grail of gun, and bullet performance. It sells a lot of guns, reloading gear, and brings about lots of frustration and gnashing of teeth. In the old days someone would have told you to buy 10 different types of factory loads/bullets and use your experience to find the combo your gun and you both like. THEN work on playing with powder grains, seating, primers, etc. Like shooting, going back to basics will never fail you. [/QUOTE]
