I can honestly say that when i first started useing NP's in the late 60's, to this day i haven't owned even one rifle that didn't shoot more than accurate enough for hunting. I can also say that IF i ever wouldhave had a rifle that was desiginated for "big game" and it wouldn't shoot NP's good enough for hunting accuracy, it would get send down the road ASAP!!
I believe in working up one load for everythingin my big game rifles and useing it for everything i will shoot with "that" rifle, and that's "another" excelent reasonto use the best bullet possible.
NP's have worked so well for me on moose, big bears and everything else that it's all i use onany big animials... When i was crawling around in the alders in brown bear country (like the vally in the pict.) i wanted to know that the bullet i was useing would work at that close range, and also work just as well on those longer shots, likei took to geta caribou in thepict..
