Jeff,

They are 180gr Nosler partitions. I've shot 154gr Nosler partitions in my .7mm Wby Mag for years. I've never had a problem with close range shots (although, I generally try to break a shoulder when I'm within 50yds or so.) I did shoot a bear at about 70 yds with a behind-the-shoulder shot. It ran down into some scrub oak (im my direction) and trashed around a bit. I give it about 30 minutes to bleed out or stiffen up and them went in after it. I found it dead, not too far from where
I entered the oak.

Thanks for the reminder!
