The information I've picked up is they edge the NP bullet in performance. The farther out you get, the greater the difference. They have a very high BC, for instance.
<br> I know they will work. I say that because I've seen many "lessor" Nosler Partition loads work quite well on that class of critter. Under those conditions, and those types of shots.
<br> I'd go for the Barnes X. Much better weight retention. Try the 168 gr. XLC. I'd be very surprised if some kind of accurate load couldn't be found. Or the Swift-A-Frame. I know, low BC.
<br> So what ? How may animals are you going to shoot at over 300, or 400 yds ? I doubt you'd notice the difference, even at that range. I'll take bullet integrity any day over BC, or a smaller than 1.5 MOA group. I like all the edge I can get, especially in that class of critter. E
