Since it isn't the fastest I am also thinking that monolithic bullets aren't necessairly the answer either. That leaves me with the Partition, Accubond, Scirroco, etc. What else would you suggest? Is the ballistic tip too soft? I'm all ears.


I would do what a lot of others are yammering about here on the 'fire lately--use the minumum C&C bullet that has the greatest risk of creating the most drama you can and proclaim it to be a "fine elk bullet".

What ever you do, don't use a Partition, TSX, TTSX, Northfork, or any other of those unnecessary bullets...........especially when using a smallish caliber........
