Well it seems both bullets have supporters. The last elk I shot was with a 7MM RM pushing a 175gr. Hornady on top of a bunch of Reloder 22. He was only 125 yards away, hit at the back edge of the shoulder he dropped but was trying to get back into a big deep ditch so I shot him again. Neither bullet exited and the angle was not severe. Absolutely major tissue damage and the destruction of one shoulder due to bloodshot. I had some 160gr. Partitions loaded but for some reason the Hornady was in the chamber when the elk climbed out of the head of a long draw. I have shot many deer and feral hogs with the 140gr. Partition and results were always perfect. Checking the flight characteristics of either bullet shows there is a plenty flat trajectory out to 500 yards which is farther than I want to shoot but might have to. Going to flip a coin. Heads, the 160 gr. Partition wins.
