RE: Nosler Partitions
Hope you find your magic combination somewhere in that group.
For me the magic combination is the 117Sierra Gameking, H4831sc powder, Federal magnum match primers, 3215fps velocity, 24inch barrel.
Excellent deer bullet, the Gamekings hold together surprisingly well. I have had complete passthroughs on deer and antelope at from 100 to 350 yards. I prefer
the 115gr Partitions if I am on a trophy mulie hunt with the opportunity for really large bucks.
If the Hornady' s don' t work try the Sierra' s.
The Nosler Ballistic tips work great for a lot of people as far as accuracy and will kill a deer dead for sure. For me I do not like the terminal performance, too much wasted meat if you hit anywhere near the shoulder.
