I bought a Tikka 25-06 for the wife about 6-8 years ago and worked up some Nosler Ballistic tips in it. It would shoot 5 shot groups that a dime would cover consistently. Then we got a lease that was so thick if the deer did not drop in his tracks , you stood a very good chance of not finding him. No exit hole so very poor blood trail so I decided to try some Nosler Partitions, knowing she would get an entrance and an exit with a good blood trail. After about 200 loads with 2 different weight partitons, 3 different powders, different seating depths and even different primers I gave up trying the Partitions. I even packaged up what I had left and mailed them to Montana. Daniel
