Sure Steve, you don't have a problem as long as it agrees with what you perceive to be accurate. You have pointed out twice now that the partition beat the A-frame--which is only partially true..the A-Frame smoked the partition by 50% more retention..you seem to not want to mention that little fact..plus that the A-Frame beat the partition by a similar amount in the other distance..another item not mentioned in the last post..sorry this isn't CNN ..all the facts please not just the ones you agree with ..

Nope. here are copies of what I wrote.
And that would help.............how?
If the Nosler makes a hole clear through, it would not matter if it was a bit lighter.

Secondly, as I stated in previous posts, you keep moving the goal post in an attempt to make it suit your beliefs on the comparison..you move distance, game or whatever it is that needs to be moved to make your point..

Nope. If so, please copy and past my words so I and all the readers can see. Here is what I wrote.

In my time in the military I used a bolt action M40 (Remington 700)and M118 Match ammo with 173 Gr bullets at only 2550 FPS. It was just fine out to 800 yards. At 1000 it was a bit of a problem from time to time and I would have liked something a bit faster, but I still did OK with it. Now that I am not shooting on the tax-payers money and I have to buy my own guns and ammo, I use what I like instead of what I am given.[color/]

For shots to 500 meters I am fine shooting with anything I use that has a scope on it. I don't shoot at game anymore past 300 with irons. I am a good enough hunter that the self imposed 500 meter limit is really not much of a limit at all. In the last 20 years of hunting all over the western USA I have yet to have a problem getting within 500 of an animal.
Please copy and paste something where I wrote that I am now shooting farther.

You freely admit you have never used an A-Frame but yet seem to want to comdemn them for cost and or effectiveness without ever even having used them...sorry you cant have it both ways ..
Ripp, I have never killed anything with one, but I have seen about 10 animals kill with them by other hunters . They were very good, just not the best I have seen, and I said so in the text. Go look.
Here again is a copy of what I wrote.

I am sure they would do better on Bison or Buffalo

To me, Swifts are simply overpriced. If I were a rich man, and money was no object I would still not use them if I could get Nosler Partitions, Nosler Bonded or Hornady Bonded, or Barnes X bullets.

I do not care if someone else feels different. I just don't do it myself any more.

I would agree that A-frames may be better for buffalo, but for elk I don't think so.
Your mileage may vary.

Ripp, please point out the condemnation in the words above, or in any of my words I have written in this thread.

I am fully aware of the history of the partition and mostly everything else you have mentioned..which is why I don't use it..[color:]

OK with me and with every reader here I am sure.

At this point in this thread, I am done..and don't have time to read all you are posting..was on the road for work yesterday and back in today to catch up..and it is starting to become very monotonous to me..sorry.... My God, this post has been beat to death ..Let it go..

OK

you are not changing my mind and apparently I am not yours..

And why does that matter to you?

and frankly some of the arguments now are just a little over the top....

Then let other readers show me where they are, Or you can------ by coping and pasting.

But if you are not into CNNs smear tactics do it! Instead of calming you can.
My words are all written down. Show us where I did any of these things. Show us all.
