Bullets, like everything else, have come a long way since the Partition. The above example of the moose as well as others CLEARLY demonstrate there are better bullets out there, and especially at "realistic" ranges (400 or less yards in my opinion), bullets like North Forks, CEBs, A Frames & TTSXs are the way to go, particularly out of faster calibers and where an opportunity for a close in shot will ensure the bullet holds up. Getting ready to shoot a hog this week at my lease and my 3006 is loaded with 180 Partitions, great bullet and I would not hesitate to use it on elk, but they are not my preference and certainly not on the big stuff like Cape Buffalo.


A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
