In a new Tikka I thought I had my hunting load figured out for the year. The 150 Partition shot well with 60g RL 26 at 3000fps, but the 130 TTSX shot crazy good at 100. I moved out to 200 yds today and had big surprise. The 150 Partitions bested the 130 TTSX. Weird how sometimes a 100 yd group doesn't always tell you what will happen further out. Great thing is both bullets (and 130 Ballistic tips) all shot to the same POI. Anyway...I seem to always get shots at elk under 100 yds and wonder if the 150 Partition will make a mess or have issues on close shots going that fast. I have had great results with the light TTSX's going fast but havn't ever taken an animal with the 150 Partition.


The truth angers those whom it does not convince
