Ulvejaeger: I have to concur with you - I have been using Nosler Partitions for just at 60 years now in the 30/06 and for 50 years in the 7m/m Remington Magnum - if and when a Nosler Partition ever "fails me" I might consider trying another bullet on Elk/Bear/Mt. Goat. "Heard" to many "questionables" on the Barnes bullets from people I know and trust to even want to try them. Long live Nosler! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
