I agree Charlie.

With bullet selection, as in most things in life, moderation is often the best policy.

Not too quick opening, which occasionally fails to penetrate. Not too deep penetrating, with may fail to open. Sleek enough to reach out just fine to distances further than any hunter has any business shooting at unwounded game. A nice balance. In other words, a Partition.


What I find starkly contrasting today is that we used to judge game bullets by how they performed after the hit animals...today bullet construction is largely ignored and the focus is on how they perform flying through the air,which I can understand for very LR work.

This gives some good information but makes me wonder how I killed anything using Partitions the last 40+ years....Mmmm.

In any event the LR bullets have a very long way to go before they can begin to approach the world wide reputation for trophy game killing of the Partition....I bet they never catch up.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
