I’ve used the 225 Partition and Sierra GK a decent amount in my 358 and Whelen. Like Jud posted, the Sierra not be as pretty but man does it hammer animals. Blood trails from a 358 or Whelen are the coolest I’ve seen. Broad and lotsa volume..
I’ve literally never had a blood trail when using the Whelen. Even on grizzlies. They’ve all been down in sight. Never shot an elk with it though, just blacks and grizzlies, moose, and caribou. Only ever shot two critters with anything but a 250.
