30 cal hunting bullet range suggestions

Its really hard to beat Nosler partition for hunting.
They shoot well and always expand and leave an exit wound.
Agreed, but like Alex said, he has heard of bullet failures from all brands. My limited experience on moose (3 taken) is the old Nosler partition 200 grain .30 cal bullet ( a semi-round nose) from a 30-06 at about 2500 fps muzzle has worked unfailingly.

I had a permit last year and have run out of those profile 30 cal. 200s. So, I bought some 220 grain semi- round nose partitions, they call them semi-spitzer now (guess round nose is taboo these days) and developed a load for a 308 Norm Mag at just under 2600 fps. Rifle and bullet shot very well. Unfortunately, we saw no bulls ( cows only). They grouped (3 shots) at 1.25" at 100 yds and with a 4" holdover 1.75" actual spread at 200. Browning FN Safari rifle. Early one, no salt wood :)
