I can't imagine using 250gr bullets out of my 338-06's for anything. Just like I can't imagine 220gr 30 caliber bullets for anything. There are better choices for both cartridges and calibers.
I am currently trying to sell some Hornady 250gr RN and FMJ in the classifieds, because I will never need them. If I ever needed to use them, it would be on what? Polar/Brown bear? Cape Buffalo? If that day ever comes, I have better cartridge choices and bullet selection to choose from.
I killed a bison with the .338/06 although truth be told I wish I'd used a larger cartridge. The first two shots had little effect, the third hobbled him up good. Bullet was a 250gr partition, the box said 2500 fps. Expansion was picture perfect, although no bone was struck. At that velocity the Partition looks like a really good bullet. Not sure I'd want to shoot a 210 partition from a RUM or anything like that.
