Damned near anything if the nut behind the trigger isn't loose.

Which particular one is "best" depends on several things. I'm back to using plain janes for almost everything (yes- Corelokts work well!).

JJHack has been in on several thousand kills in NA and Africa, and claims the 165 is the best bullet weight. Who am I to argue - it doesn't contradict my experience, tho my preference is generally for 180.

I don't use NP anymore, but I don't think you can go wrong with it for a do-everything bullet, if your rifle shoots it well. My rifles(that I have tried it in) don't like the NP as well as some other cheaper C&C, but it still gives very acceptable accuracy. If that's all I wanted to/could shoot the rest of my life, I'd be perfectly happy with it.

It's a wise idea to settle on single-source of everything- bullet, case, primer/powder.

I've got components for all my rifles from many sources - it complicates things.....
