    Rifle advice for the new guy

    Took the bison down with a nosler partition if I recall. Will simply have to order the swift reloading book. None of my other books or apps show anything for these rounds.

    Rifle advice for the new guy

    Here in the states I use a lot of game kings, an nosler ballistic tips. Those pretty much cover it all for me. If I need something for medium to large game in the brush I use a 20 gauge sabot slug.

    Rifle advice for the new guy
