I shoot a 6.5/06 and have always loved those Nosler Partitions bullets. I have never had any luck with Barnes bullets shooting good groups in my rifles. Some of those other bullets I know nothing about but your test shows them to be very adequate to use on big game. Thanks for your efforts I appreciate all your work. Thank Our Veterans!
