... For big game hunting in the lower 48, choose any caliber 243 and above?

at 300 yards with a .243 if you want an exit hole.

How are are the partitions at longer ranges? I assume he accubond was introduced to fill that niche?

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

If a Partition in the gun you're shooting isn't enough, you need a bigger gun.

"Inadequate" and "outlawed in a liberal stronghold" are not the same.

10 mph variable winds with the biggest buck you've ever seen at 526 yards out with zero chance of getting closer.

Kind of the same scenario I was thinking about.

There's a lot of guys who will whine about the partition not being sleek enough and not having a high enough BC but out to 500 yards it doesn't much matter In my opinion. And if I can't get any closer that's on me. I've used the entire spectrum in 7mm and 30 cal. And a variety in other calibers. I have yet to be disappointed.
