140-grain Partitions
I wish they had included the 140-grain Nosler Partitions in the testing. The Partition is my go-to for whenever I'm asking a caliber to punch above its weight class (like using a 6.5x57 on elk or moose, for example).
They did test the 100-grain Partition, which is fine, but I would likely use a less-expensive bullet for whitetails. Any good cup-and-core bullet should do for the ranges at which I hunt them.
