Great Hunting Ammo
I have used the 223 60 gr. Nosler Partition in my AR-15 to harvest two hogs and last deer season I used it in a Mini-14 to harvest a doe. All were taken at less than 50 yards, one shot stops and with complete pass through of the bullet. This ammo groups a perfect 1 inch at 100 yards with my Mini-14.

5 Star Ammo in a 5 Star gun = 5 star results!
I use this ammo in a Remington Sendero 700 Heavy barrel. I took a nice 8 pointer at 206 (ranged) yards. It was a quartering away shot, and dropped him. He got up went a few more steps and dropped. The round had mushroomed perfectly. I zeroed the weapon, scope, and ammo at 200, and put five rounds in 1 3/4 inches.
I don't think I'll be trying any other ammo for two or three decades. :)

My number one choice
I've been using this ammunition for a couple years and Federal 60gr. partition is my go to ammunition. I hunt south central Texas with and AR rifle. I've taken several bucks and lots of hogs from 60-175 yards. All neck shots. This stuff gives me confidence when using small caliber bullets.

great deer round
Just recently killed a 10 point using this ammunition. Buck dropped instantly. shot him in the front shoulder, did not exit the other side but completely liquefied the heart and lungs. This ammo had no trouble penetrating bone. shoots about 1 moa at 100 yards out of my handi rifle. What more could you ask for.

This bullet is great for whitetail deer hunters.
I bought an AR 15 for my wife to use deer hunting. She has a problem with her neck so I wanted to get her a gun that could be used as a deer rifle but had as little recoil as possible. After getting the gun, I realized that most of the bullets I tried were lacking in one way or another as good ammo for whitetail deer. After trying several different types of bullets, someone suggested that I use this bullet. I tried it and loved it... so did my wife. She killed her first deer ever last year. It was a 6 pt. at 180 yards. This year she took a 7 pt. at 160 yards. She can't wait for next season.
