Ok, we know that AD was extremely obsessive about his rifles but not about his choice of premium hunting bullet.

I've shot a great deal of game (deer-size to moose size) with the similar 300 Win. Mag., and much of it with 180 gr. Nosler Partition Spitzers as well as Protected-Points. To this day, I simply have not seen that 200 gr. bullets are at all necesssary, and because of that I've never used them.
I've gotten complete, pass-through penetration with those 180s something like 85% of the time, with most of the remaining 15% of those bullets were recovered under the hide on the off-side of the animal, so I'd say that penetration has been more than sufficient.............
Phil Shoemaker thinks highly of them as well.

The 30-06 with 220 grain bullets is a proven big bear cartridge. I have use 200 gr Partitions in mine to kill and number of big brown and Grizzly bears, including stopping some close range determained charges.
