Another lesson learned. Nosler partitions, Barnes X or failsafes will bring home the venesion everytime and not let you down. Others are good but if you want penetration stick with the above listed bullets. I took a 180" class mule deer a few years back when I lived in Saskatchewan. He was about 300lbs on the hoof running straight away. When my 7mm STW barked the 140 barnes X bullet took him just to the left of the rectum, ran slightly above the gut sack and punched out his shoulder area. Complete pass through lenghwise! I use 95 gr noslers in my 6mm and have never found one yet in any whitetail buck I have taken. I gues I am saying that if you have the availability to purchase these bullets or cartridges and they are accurate out of your rifle then stick with themand you will never be upset!
