Next fall I'll be going on a cow elk cull hunt. My shots will be 200yds or less, 150 average. I'll take two rifles.I have a 7x57 and 280. I shoot 150gn Partitions in both @ 2700fps and 2900fps respectively. I'm considering loading 160gn Partitions or 164gn Hornady Interlocks. Would you change or go with the 150s? Captdavid


"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.

If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!
