I just got an email from New Mexico where I shot my elk and then loaded some .270 Winchesters with 160 partitions for the ranch hand. His license was for the time ending the 20th of December.

His report was to have taken his cow with one shot at 375 yards. I didn't ask for more info as I was just happy to get that much ....the guy is a worker and not a talker.

At 375 yards the .270 isn't exactly a powerhouse but in this case fully adequate for the job and in this case the 160 partition seems to have been all that was required.

Wish I could provide more info about shot placement etc.....but this I can say....the man is now a "believer" in the 160 partition.
