I did lose one with an accubond that I believe hit the shoulder based on her limp and good blood trail, at first. I really like the versatility of the cartridge for western hunting.


I cannot argue with your choice of the 140 Partition for Elk as I load that bullet in the Swede @ 2700 and the Creed @ 2800 and my Wife took 1 Bull with each load. Because I have not tried the 120TTSX yet, I wondered what you observed with that bullet that kept it out of 1st place for that application.


Lack of reaction and longer time till fainting to 3-4 well placed rounds and similar effects with a similar 130TSX out of a 270 WSM on elk a year or two prior. Full penetration, but I get those with Partitions too.
