Not enough information
I ordered a box of these from Cabelas about a month ago and nothing I could find on your website or Cabelas website said anything about them being Moly coated. If I had known this I would have never bought them but now I am stuck with a $43.00 box of paperweights. A little more information from you and Cabelas would be helpful.

Have use the Nosler Partition 100 gr. for the last 10 yrs and always amazed at the devastation that it leaves to the internal organs, just shot a whitetail this season and the heart and lungs were mush.

one - shot kills
I have killed 12 whitetails in the 10 years I have been using Nosler Partition 100 gr. in .243 in my Ruger No. 1 International. Everyone has been a one - shot kill. My shots have ranged from 40 yds. to 200 yds.

100 grain 243
Excellent cartridge- but not ethically enough punch for elk - you got lucky and dropped one - but you can kill an elk with 22 long rifle but doesn't mean it's the right choice

Best .243 ammo for deer size game.
I have found that hunting in the Pennsylvania and West Virginia woods that this load and bullet configuration is the best I have found. My son even took a cow elk with this load from a Remington model 600 at 200 yards in Colorado! One shot and she went right down. It's the only thing I use.

Perfect round
I have used this load in my TC Encore with great results. Antelope and whitetail at close and far distance. Very accurate.

Bad news for Blacktails!
I have used this load in Kodiak to take quite a few large framed Sitka Blacktail bucks (175 to 200 lb.) and it has never failed to put them down quick- most on the spot. My daughter used my .243 to shoot a mature buck at approximately 150 yards last season with a quartering to shot placed perfectly in front of the near shoulder. The bullet lodged under the skin behind the off shoulder. The deer stumbled a couple of yards and dropped stone dead. Bad news for deer, but great news for deer hunters!
This load is a tack driver out of my Ruger MKII.
