I haven't shot enough elk to know for sure, but I sure love the combo of a .338 Win Mag and a 210gr Partition.

I've never taken elk with the 35 Whelen, but that combined with the 225 grain Partition sounds cool too. I've wanted one ever since I saw Bob Milek posing with an elk and his Whelen. Never have owned one though. In fact, I don't even own a .338 any more, so next time I draw a tag my "best elk cartrige" may be my .270 Winchester. I've been wanting to see what those 160gr Partitions would do.
