I bet that NP will work VERY well at that velocity, expecially on hogs... NP's are known for their ability to give some expansion at lower velocities, and give excelent penetration at high velocities...DM




That's my thought too, but I want to know before I use them. I'm planning to do some penetration/expansion testing at 50 & 100 yards this spring. My test medium is tightly bound bundles of phone books that are soaked overnight in water.

By the way, I've done testing on the 165 and 180 gr partitions side by side with Sierra flat-based bullets of the same weight, using a 30-06 rifle at fifty yards. Performance was identical. But, I expect the Partitions may out perform the Sierra bullets at reduced velocity, as I've read that the forward section is very soft. We shall see.
