Don't take me wrong, the AB is an excellent bullet. I saw over expansion at point blank range into a foot of dense muscle, at 1-200 yds or a normal high heart/ lung shot it would have worked better. I just wanted to drop him 10 feet from the dirt road I was walking on.
A partition would have penetrated further, after shedding the front portion, most likely.
If I get back to Africa I will likely take 300 gr AB for plains game and a stouter 300 gr loaded to the same poi, probably a Partition , A-frame, or Northfork for cape buffalo.
I will continue to use the 260 for anything in NA up to 4-500 lbs or so.
Don't have any mule deer, blacktail, or elk here in Maine.
