Got to run up the BS flag on that.

I must be really stupid then. For over 45 years I have hunted with plain old C&C bullets in several different cartridges from 30-30's thru 7mags and muzzle loaders. Only using Partitions when SPS was selling over runs or rejects for $13/box of 50. Not one of the 50 +elk I put in the freezer seemed to mind at all.

I also live in Colorado and hunted it since 74 and another ten years in NM. I have heard that old saw about the bullet being the cheapest part of the hunt so many times every time a discussion like this comes up.When in truth, plain old Remington Cor-loks have probably killed more elk that any other bullet ever made.
