Shots Nosler bullets is something i have never heard of, but if 'shots' is an acronym for sporting handgun bullets, what i would do is pick up some of these Nosler Partitions from Wideners. The price is right, and they should shoot about the same as your 'shots' Noslers. Myself, i would trust the partitions on a big Elk, or a small Elk, but have no idea how them 'shots' bullets would perform. The partition would definitely be better for Elk than either an xtp, or an sts. However, the xtp sure works good on deer. The Sabre Tooth i know nothing about.
