I have used the 160’s on plains game (zebra, wildebeest, oryx, and kudu) which are pretty close to elk in size etc. Nothing required a second shot and nothing went more than 30-40 yards or so. I believe they produce a more obvious impact than spitzer shapes. One of my favorite bullets. I would use them rather than the lighter partitions.
Am considering a grizzly hunt and will be using them if I go.
That's big stuff knowing you're not a huge Partition fan!
I am going to give them a shot from my old pump.. I don't need gnat's butt accuracy since its got a peep on it and likely will never take a shot over a 100 yards in the places it'll hunt.
