Do they make a 180 grain Partition? I load the 175 Pro Hunter. But I don't hunt elk with it. If I ever do get to go elk hunting it won't be with my 8x57. I mean I believe with the right bullet it would do the job, but I have too many rifles that are better suited for elk. However, if I ever do hunt elk with it I'll load a Partition or something.
No. They only make a 200 gr partition in 8mm. I have plenty of other rifles that are better suited as well. I have just been on an 8x57 kick for the last couple of years. I shot a nice red stag and a scimitar horned oryx with it a couple of years ago, and it is a hammer on deer and pigs. It is plenty of rifle for elk. Just not necessarily a 400 yard elk rifle.
