[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 854661, member: 27328"] The best bullet? None of the above. The Nosler Partition is still the bullet that all hunting bullets are compared against. No matter how much or little you spent, nothing is all-around better. Want to do the same thing with a standard bullet? Fine. Load your semi-auto magazine with a full metal jacket bullet and then a Ballistic Tip or SST. Do this staggered loading until the magazine is full. Now, on every animal you shoot, do a quick double tap. The BT or SST will simulate the nose of the Nosler Partition as it quickly expands and transfers shock and destroys tissue. The FMJ bullet will punch through to leave a blood trail for tracking if necessary and will simulate the rear of the Nosler Partition bullet..... Of course, you COULD just load a Nosler Partition and save yourself the trouble of aiming and absorbing recoil twice and probably saving money in the process. I believe that Jack O'Connor knew something about this..... I did a search to determine what African guides considered the best bullet to use on African game, and the Nosler Partition was mentioned the most and the Swift A-Frame came in second, which is a VERY similar bullet to the Partition. The Barnes TSX was particularly mentioned as having a high failure rate. If I'm in an area where large predator game is known to exist, and I'm armed with something like a .223 Rem, then a 60-grain Nosler Partition is the first bullet in the chamber. If you need a meat or pelt saving bullet, then you rack it in the chamber. You want the Partition first in line in case you are unexpectedly jumped by something. The Partition has been around so long that some fools think it is somehow obsolete and something else is all-around better. What a joke. [/QUOTE]
