Default RE: Ammo advice for Gemsbok?

I load the Nosler 200 grain partition (8x57jrs) as my "only" bullet/load for my Krieghoff Drilling, and i couldn't be more happy with it's performance!! I've taken moose, deer, bear and other big animials with it, and it's worked perfectly every time.

In all the animials i've shot with this bullet/load, i've only recovered one bullet, and it was an angleing shot at 200 yards that broke the back and top of the shoulders on a big whitetail. I was very surprised to find the "mushroomed out to the partition" bullet.

I load mine to 2,550 fps, and i don't feel any need for more speed.
