For me they are still the gold standard... they open close and far, light animals and large, explosive initial penetration, with deep secondary penetration.
They are not tacticool, but I'll take them over tinfoil bullets any day... and mono's too.
Agree.
As far as accuracy is concerned, when they hot, they hot...
Some rifles shoot the NPT more accurately than any other bullet. I have one, a 240 HS Precision that goes half MOA with the 100 gr.
Across the board, I find other bullets out shooting the NPT, some maybe not by much.
Terminal performance on game, the NPT is the gold standard as you say, the one others are compared to.
I like'em for what I do. I'm not into long range shooting where high B.C. long, sleek bullets rule. In my neck of the woods, Partitions rule.
