The real answer might be “because I don’t have to”....

Preposterous! Yet Ill play along. Hornady # 2620 to be fired from the 6.5 Grendel. This is there 129 grain flat base spire point. My CZ527'sin 6.5 grendel love them. Was honestly surprised to see this bullet out perform the 125 grain Nosler Partition in terms of expansion and weight retention at blistering Grendel speeds only achievable w Leverevolutin propellant.
Expect this modest bullet would do well from a 6.5 Creed or 260 Rem and more.

I always used Nos Bal tips, but in 2018 I used Nos Accubond on 4 animals.............they both work... Hornady SST worked for me too.

Nosler Partitions are never a mistake.

Nosler Partition. I've been loading and shooting them for close to 40 years and they've never let me down. I shoot "heavy for caliber" regardless of the cartridge; 115 gr in 25-06, 150 gr in 270, 180 gr in 30-06, 250 gr in 338 Win Mag.

200 30 cal partition. From a 300 win mag. And I did pick just that one and use it at least several times a year.

I think I might answer this in a number of different ways depending on what day the question is asked.
Of all my rifles I've killed anything with, I like the 140 Accubond out of my .264 and I like the 150 Partition out of my .280 the most, but I have rifles tucked away that have yet to be blooded. I was going to put a sweet little Model Seven custom in 6mm Rem slinging 95-grain Partitions to work this fall, but I lost my lease and had to have everything off the property one week before deer opener. Maybe next year...but damn, I ain't getting any younger.
Don't be the darkness.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Looking at the replies, it's a 30 caliber by a wide margin.
284 in second.
277 and 6.5 are tied for third.
