I hold high regard for Hornady Interlock bullets in 257, 277 & .308 - I don’t have much experience with the other diameters of Hornady but would bet on performance being great.
Speer HotCor has also been exceptional for me in 130/150gr .277, 150/180/200gr .308, 200gr/.338. I have shot a few of the Speer boat tails but feel they are softer than I prefer.
I’ve shot many deer and several Elk over the years and have never been disappointed in the traditional cup & core bullets unless I drove them too fast - still have a working load with each bullet but have generally moved over to the Partition as the years go on - but really didn’t need to - just felt like changing things up. Now I’m tinkering with mono slugs but only in a few cartridges.
A looneys work is never done & I’m way behind
Used to be for the .270Win, 150 gr. Hot-Cor for load development and training, and then switch to the Partition for hunting.
Now, it's just the 150 gr. Grand Slam for both, and for my hunting, can't tell the difference.
They were ~ $0.22/pop.
