I use 200 NP's in my 8x57jrs and i'm quite happy with the way it performs. I've only recovered (2) bullets so far in over 20 years of useing them in this gun. I prefer to have exit wounds from my bullets with good expansion.

I shot a coyote at close to 300 yards and the bullet apeared to open a bit, and i also hit a big moose at 150 yards two times andboth bullets exited doing plenty of damage. That's all i can ask for in any bullet.

Iharvested the buck in the pict. last fall at 200 yards useing this combo..
