I use a 30-06 and have for the pasr 19 years...I have tried the Nosler partition and found that it was a good round but then one day I was working on some reloads for a friend and he was usinf the Hornady SST...I tried the 150gr sst in my 30-06 and founf that it was {in my eyes } better than the Nosler partition....I got very good long range and excelent knock down power....I have since changed both of my brothers over to the SST and they like them as much as I do...
