Tejano,

Actually, I believe Phil used the 220-grain Partition on the last wounded brown bear he followed up with a .30-06. That was because he does a lot of penetration tests with various bullets, both handgun and rifle, and found the 220 Partition (which hasn't been around nearly as long as the 200-grain) penetrated deeper than any other .30-caliber expanding bullet he's tested. It would certainly work for the 150-yard limit the OP mentioned.

I also know Phil likes monolithics as well.
