WOW!!! This was really tough for me. You all know how much I like bullets of all different kinds and makes and have used a large variety of bullets through the years hunting from many different companies. You also know how much I like the Partition across the board when all the cartridges I have hunted with through the years are considered when tough game are being hunted. But my favorite Nosler bullet is the 225gr AccuBond in .358 caliber.

Now my second most favorite Nosler bullet is the 200gr AccuBond in .308 caliber.

And my third most favorite Nosler bullet is the 210gr Partition in the .338 caliber.
 
Not tough for me, I started using the .308, 180 PT somewhere around 1960 and have been using them ever since
 
My favorite Nosler bullet is the 160 Partition in 7mm Rem Mag. Does everything I need that cartridge to do on any game I will use it for, and with extreme accuracy.
 
All of Nosler designs are my favorite, albeit I haven't use all to the exent of some in the lineup.
It all depends what caliber and application. But for sake of the discussion, if I was ever limited to one rifle. The caliber would be .308, and then the 180 gr. Partition. But then again, I have thought the same for .338/ 225gr. Partition. So I hope I'm never left the choice of just one!
But in another context,,,,,
For general big game hunting, regardless of caliber, the Partition is my favorite. The Ballistic Tips fill my varmint needs. I just started shooting the Custom Competitions this past year, and I am quite impressed with them in my long range target applications. The AB and ET, I utilize in more specialized applications.
 
I've laid low more game with the 165 grain Nosler Partition than any other, in several calibers, and it's been superb. Guess that's the one...
 
The Nosler bullet that I use most is the 125 gr .308 Ballistic Tip. I shoot it in a 308 Winchester and 30X47 HBR in rifles and a 30-30AI 14" T/C Contender pistol for deer. It is a super accurate bullet and it just plain HAMMERS DEER IN THEIR TRACKS. :mrgreen:

Have you noticed that on this NOSLER website the spell checker says that NOSLER is spelled wrong? :shock:
 
JD, I do not think that I have used any .338 Nosler bullet product yet that I did not like for some application or another. I have not used them all but have used and liked:
.338 Ballistic Tip, 180 gr, 200 gr
.338 CT ST, 200 gr
.338 AccuBond, 250 gr
.338 Partition, 210 gr, 225 gr, 250 gr
 
I can't do it... I have three favorite .22s! 40 gr. BT for my .221, 50 gr. BT for my .223s, and 55 gr. for my Swifts.

If forced:
1. 180 gr. .308 Partition
2. 70 gr. .243 BT
3. 55 gr. .224 BT

I pushed Nosler for 3 years to come out with the 338 250 gr AB. I also shot the first game animal with this bullet so it is a special bullet for me.

I am just glad that they finally came out with a 225 gr Partition for the .338. I can use that bullet with excellent results in all of the .338 calibers.

Agree, it is one tough bullet.
