I use them because that is my preferred shot, and I know they will deliver. If I wanted something more conventional I'd use a North Fork or Swift, if choosing from currently available bullets. I quit NPs 25yrs ago, they really never impressed me all that much, either for accuracy or busting thru a lot of bone. If they make others happy then by all means they should use them. I'm only concerned about what I use!
This. The NPs are good bullets, used them a lot in Africa on my first trip in my 300, but like John mentioned, accuracy is not on a par with the TTSXs and they've all opened up on me. In fact, I was all ready to use 210 Partitions in my 338 for leopard, but accuracy was just not consistent whilst the TTSXs were, and at 2800 plus, they open very nicely.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
