My favorite is the nosler partition. Has killed most of the animals I harvested. Doesn’t seem to matter where you hit them it puts them down no matter what.  I have made some fairly marginal shots on elk and they die within 30 feet no matter what i’ve never lost an elk or a bear or a deer when I hit them with one.

Berger. I’ve killed lots of animals with different bullets and they are the most devastating by far at all ranges

Hornady Superformace SST.
Deadly, accurate, lazer flat, and hit hard. I have dumped a few animals over 350 yards. My Browning X-Bolt shoots them extremely well.

Under 400 yards the Trophy Bonded Bearclaw has been a huge perfect mushroom even on point blank bone hits (338).  Amazing.   Beyond 400 need better ballistics so 300 Berger or SMK seems to work.

For 24 - 30 caliber rifles I prefer Nosler Partition is my first choice if I can get them to shoot…Nosler Accubond (regular not long range) is my second choice.

I have shot animals with Nosler LR Accubond, Regular Speer and Hot Core, Sierra Game King, Hornady Spire Point, Barnes LRX and Bergers. I prefer Nosler over all the rest.

I'm a Nosler Accubond guy. They've always performed great for me and my rifles like them.

No wonder I can't find Partitions when looking for them, everyone shoots them as well.  I like that the forward half can mushroom creating a nice channel for blood flow while the back half is an encapsulated core for weight retention.  Kind of get the best of both in one bullet.

Nosler Accubond (Regular) has never failed to perform.  Have recovered a few and they are perfectly mushroomed.

Nosler. Accubonds. I don’t hand load and they’ve become the only factory load I’ll shoot out of a hunting rifle. Served me well to date

Switched to Partitions many moons ago after many Sierra gameking blow ups.  Now playing with accubonds, eldx, and bergers.   Shot placement is most important....

Exactly you can't go wrong with this bullet. So good it ended up being not only my big game rifle but my go to coyote round this season. Big or small it killed them all. Lol
Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.
